How do you convince your parents to get a dog?

I've wanted a dog for years! I've never really asked tho because i had cats (which i loved deeply). Anyway, they dies 5 months ago and i don't want to replace them with another cat so i wanted to get a dog. How do you convince your parents?How do you convince your parents to get a dog?
Oh my Goodness People... Get over it- she's a kid who really wants a dog! I'm sure that was you





Sorry


Anyway: This is what I did when I was your age;


I researched for years...


Yes, years....


On breeds, on taking care of them, on finding a good breeder ( which was kind of a waste because I adopted), everything imaginable


That's how I know what I do now...


From when I was 10....


So, you pick out the breed that's best


Not what you like the most ( I know- that's hard)


But you choose the breed with the general temperment that's best for you...


Then you do research on care...


Learn everything


Read books, internet, you name it- do it


Find a responsible breeder


What makes it responsible?


Read about it





Yes- You need at least 1 year before you get a dog!





Even then, your parents may say no


But, you'll be an adult one day and really, they have to pay everything and do all the doggy chores ( even if you do some)...





But Good Luck





Dogs are fun...


But a lot of responsibility





** Make sure your ready before that cute puppy in the window is yours





Ps:


NEVER buy from a pet store





Why:?

NowHow do you convince your parents to get a dog?
You don't - they are the adults and they would be the ones paying for the dog. If you fail to be responsible for this dog, then it falls on them: feeding, brushing, exercising, etc.





If they don't want to pay or don't want the responsibility (or threat of responsibility) then that is their choice as the adult parents.





The only thing you CAN do is ask nicely and accept whatever answer they give.
You are already in a much better position than other kids wanting pets...your parents have already had animals in the house. SO many parents have a zero tollerence of pets because they think they are filthy. Dogs are a tie, though. They should not really be left for longer than 4 hours....so who will be the companion when you are at school??


Anyway, good luck!!
Please look at this question.

The asker has another question posted 5 months ago about vet costs, so they had obviously done some research not a spur of the moment thing.





Dogs are a lot of work. Your parents must be prepared to take it all on because you simply might not be able to. If your folks don't want to bring a dog into the house then you have to wait until you live on your own.
I had the same problem with my parents a couple years ago and we finally got a dog(: the trick is to tell them that you will really take responsibility for the dog and you wont just play with it for two weeks and be done. hope i helped!
