well i had the same problem and ended up getting my white german shepherd! Your mum really should let you because these dogs are a wonderfull caring and secure breed and they are very intelligent. Help your mum out around the house and make lists of how much it is going to cost to feed your dog a week and write down all the things you will need to buy for it. By doing this, you are showing your mum you are organised and ready to have a dog. She is probably feeling that she will be the one who ends up looking after the dog so convince her otherwise. Prove how responsibe you can be and perhaps make a deal with her that will encourage you to take responsibility for the pet. E.g. a deduction from your allowance (if you have one) if you do not care for your dog or something that will prove you are serious about caring for a dog as it is a big responsibility, especially for a puppy. show her pictures of the breed and tell her how cute they are and how well behaved-its true they are! however, my dog can be very cheeky and i advice taking a German Shepherd to a training course to encourage good behaviour (although they are really clever dogs, mine only took two days to be toilet trained!)

Here is a good website that may help you to realise the responsibilities of caring for a pet:

Hi, my name is kerry and i am a student in college. I would love to pursue a career as an advice columnist as i love to listen to people's problems and advise them on what to do. I am not judgemental and i enjoy helping people, in fact my other possible career choice would be in psychiatry or pediatrics. The main reason i registered on this website is to gain experience of giving good advice and see if this career is for me, as well as helping those who i can :D
