I'm not sure how you'd prevent it really but Dachshunds can't have too many baths because they develop skin problems. Also, a Dachshund isn't really a great breed for allergy sufferers. One of my Uncles is allergic to dogs and even 'hypo-allergenic breeds' bother him. When he comes over to visit and happens to get a little too close to Tia (my Dachshund) he gets an allergic reaction. If I were you Id re-think about getting a Doxie unless maybe you could get a wirehaired one....
Spending time at the breeders house with the adult Dachshunds would probably be the best choice before you bring your pup home and see how your husband reacts to them, if he gets a bad reaction it's probably wisest not to get a pup. Good luck to you and your husband!
Here's a pic of Tia:
