How do I convince my parents to let me have a dog?

I realize there are already Q's and A's on this topic, but none of them seem to apply to me.

Okay, so here's the info:
I've wanted a dog for as long as I can remember, and both my parents know that. Allergies and মহাকাশ are not a problem. I'm hoping to get a rescue greyhound, I've researched the breed (along with basically every other dog breed known to man).Their personality seems to be the best fit for our family. Also, my friend has a greyhound mix, who my mom and I প্রণয় because of his calm and polite nature. I am an (almost) straight-A student, so going the "improving grades" way won't cut it. (Plus, my parents, kind of expect good marks anyway.) I have a part-time job, so I could offer to pay for some of the expenses. My brother has a ধেড়ে ইঁদুরের ন্যায় প্রাণিবিশেষ (recently bought), but I only help tame and feed him (brother does the rest). We often "dog-sit" for a friend of the family and a relative. Unfortunatly, those সারমেয় were all small. (one was hyper though...)
My mother seems to think the task of looking after a dog will fall completely onto her, and I can't convince her that I am responsible enough. I've wanted a dog for so long, that I'd be willing to do practically everything if we were to get one.
My dad, on the other hand, flat-out doesn't want one, even though he likes them.
A really big problem is the fact that when I waas much younger, we got a border collie/german shepherd/hound/who knows what else mix, from what we now have realized a=is a কুকুরছানা mill and not a breeder. He had many behaviour problems, that we couldn't control. He grew big, would always pull on the leash (to the point of my falling down), destructive,over-energetic(border স্কটল্যাণ্ডের লোমশ কুকুর in him) and he would often "mess" in the house. We tried to train him, but then my mother was expecting a baby, so eventually, we had to put him up for adoption. I still regret not being able to do anything. So whenever I bring up wanting another dog, my parents, esspecially my dad brings up our old one who we (emphasis o

নমস্কার guys, heres an update: ALL SYSTEMS GO!!!! My parents have finally ব্যক্ত yes, and in the spring we will be buying a বর্ণসঙ্কর কুকুরবিশেষ কুকুরছানা :D Thanks for all of your advice!

In my opinion having a dog is a BIG responsability onto আপনি and your family so whatever আপনি sa to your parent must be the truth. So, let's go point দ্বারা point. First off I get that আপনি parents are seeing your last dog as an example that your family can't handle a dob, but আপনি can state the differences between then and now. You're older and fully aware of what having a dog means so আপনি will be able to look after it properly. Also, tell them that আপনি have studied the personality of the dog আপনি want to adopt and the reasons why আপনি think it will be a good fit to your family.

Second, I get parents who think the whole dog responsability will fall on them as my mom is one of them. Again state that your are older and that আপনি are responsible enough considering your good grades and your ability to hold a part time job. Maybe আপনি can also tell them that আপনি will schedule time to spend with your new dog and will be able to take care of it and give it all the প্রণয় it deserves.

Maybe আপনি can also add some of the benefits of having a dog. People with pets live longer, for example. :P Since your parents alredy like সারমেয় আপনি could use that and say that you've already dog sat before and were able to handle it.

I hope I helped a little bit. :)

bring a dog প্রথমপাতা and say to your parent that this dog was in a kenal and the lady told me that he has had bad owners who kick মুষ্ট্যাঘাত and put boiling water over the dog and then they will feel sorry

That is a very bad idea indeed. It might've worked for your parents, but it could potentially go terribly wrong for others.

tell ur mom and dad that আপনি would pay half of the cost for dog and vet bill. Also tell them that every 2nd দিন u would take him for a walk and when ur parents tell u to do something for the dog u do it right away. After a while they will calm down about it and then u won't hav to pay anymore. it was like when i wanted a horse when i was only 4 and i ব্যক্ত that i would take care of him every দিন and i would work to pay off the vet pill. U could also say to them that u hav wanted one for ever and make a deal that say u got 2 A's অথবা 3 in one প্রতিবেদন from school then u could get a dog. Also went u go shopping with ur parents ask them if u and them could go into the pet store and hav a look at the animals. After u hav done that ask a person that works there and get them to talk to u about what r the terms of owning a dog. Sometimes having a fight with ur mom and dad and then go off crying into ur bedroom that will sometimes work. another thing is if u hav dog posters in ur room pull them down and put them around ur room. Then when ur mom and dad come in they will think OMG look what she has done maybe she could hav a dog after all. U can also do lot's of research about সারমেয় even if u know lot's and look of how much dog খাবার would cost, vet bills, কুকুরছানা school (if u want to go there) and even little thing like the dog মণ্ডল and lead.

I think u should get a minicher dauchund they r easy to walk on the lead they r small and cute but don't let them jump down from high things because of their backs.

i hope this info is useful.
P.S. This is my dog she is a dauchund x kelpie but they need lots of walking. We keep her off the lead because she pulls on the lead so she runs. This ছবি of her looks like she dosn't hav a tail but she does. I hav put a প্রশ্ন about her on "dogs" on fanpop. It is called "Rate my dog out of 10"

I got my dog because I'd first asked for a dog when I was three. I got several years later. I told my mom that it was unfair to me that she'd say, "when you're older" and like, three years later she'd say "when you're older" again. But don't be mean. Tell your mom you'll do all আপনি can for your new dog and that আপনি can pay some for the dog. Hope আপনি get your new buddy soon!

I mean it sounds like your responsible enough for a dog but it is a big responsibility I'm 11 I asked for a dog and it was easy but the part I think your parents are worried about are how you'll handle it if he অথবা she dies I never like it আপনি sound really attached to it and I bet আপনি wouldn't like it my dog got hit দ্বারা a car at 11 months old she was the best and I didn't take it well your parents probably feel the same I had to give up 3 সারমেয় last বছর because I was never free to play outside with them because of homework and stuff but now I can't convince my parents tell me how it works out hoped I helped if not I'm just a kid

Tricky one. As আপনি had a bad experience with a পূর্ববর্তি dog, I can see how it is going to be hard to convince your parents, especially your dad. The only উপদেশ I can think of for me to give is to be really sure of what dog would suit you; research breeders, get information from all sources, get right into the real nitty-gritty details about what dog would be ideal for your family. আপনি say that the border স্কটল্যাণ্ডের লোমশ কুকুর blood was one of the reasons why your পূর্ববর্তি dog was unsuitable; while not as needy for attention as collies, from what I've heard greyhounds need considerable stimulation too and are keen hunters-a person my family knew once had a greyhound who went around killing the neighbourhood cats, my friend also has a lurcher who chases and occasionally kills rabbits and once killed a young deer. Whether this is true of ex-racers I don't know, but maybe it might be worth taking into consideration. Once আপনি know exactly what kind of dog you're looking for, done your research and know exactly what you're looking for, maybe আপনি could somehow entice your parents দ্বারা প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে them all the facts, answer all their questions, প্রদর্শনী just how much আপনি know how to care and look after such a dog and what it takes to do so. Then maybe that might work...that's my only উপদেশ anyway. Go about it in a responsible and knowledgeable manner, then that might help convince them. Hope this helps :)
