To try and convince your parents maybe you could ask if you could start with a fish or a hamster or something and show them how well you can take care of it.

As for getting a dog, you should definitely adopt one from a humane society or the pound. I think they come with their shots but I could be wrong. Pet stores are way overpriced and you should get one from the pound to save a dog from being put to sleep. wink

well all dogs come will a lot of work
and plus you've never had a pet
so it would be tougher
im going to say go for a small dog
usually go for a dog that is house
trained already. thats the best thing
where are you from?
because dog prices depend on countries.
funmail me if you want to know more.xx.

a small dog will probably easier, although they need exercise, its not as much as a big dog. Also mongrels (crossbreeds) and less vulnerable to the illnesses which are in pedigree's, and are also a lot cheaper to buy.

tell your parents that big dogs can be house protectors(I have four dogs at my house, they work together and actually ALERT me when there is someone outside)
consider getting a dog that doesn't shed a whole lot- it will save your furniture.
get a dog around 1 or 2 years old that has been house broken- no dirty puppy training.

DO NOT start with a fish or a hamster because they seriously DIE so quickly and they are a lot harder to take care of than dogs from what I see. That will just make you appear irresponsible even though you did all you can.

If you go to school, don't get small dogs. They hate being left alone for long and will cry all the time since they get attached to 1 or 2 people in the household very easily. I think you should get a retriever or lab. they're very friendly, but remember that all puppies are destructive especially medium size - big ones and will tear up your house if you don't be careful.

Dogs are also very pricey. If anything is wrong with them, you need to be prepared for paying hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars.

It is too much responsibility for you. Your parents would know because they know you best. If they say you aren't responsible enough you aren't. Plus you act like a ten year old, I'd have to say I agree with them. Let the dogs go to better homes than the one you would give to it.

you must first try to keep a fish or a bird. That will convince your parents that you can really adopt a pet. However you must not ask help if your parents hate pets (mine do...lol!) they may think that you can't do it by yourself and you may do the same if you buy a puppy..if that's done, maybe your parents will gree. And once you got a CUTIE pup, then take utmost care of it or else it may grow naughty and your parents may kick it right out of the gate. If that did not work out, here is the fake formula wink just try to sit in front of the tv or computer for a LOOONG time...and your parents will get worried about your health. And when they ask you switch that off, you can say if I had a puppy, then I could spend hours playing with is ( sigh)
