Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
Try saying you will buy everything for it and care for it yourself and pick up it's dog doo and anything else responsible!

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:

i had the exact same problem and how old are you by the way...well your supposed to be 13 but what i did was i had to prove to my oarents i was ready for the responsibility...sure it looks easy but once you get it all the fun adn work begins! also make sure that if in any case your mom says yes since german shepards grow big make sure that you have everything yo ned for it!
hope it helps

show your mom that you are responsible and can properly care for an animal by going to your friends and helping out with her pets, you will be able to show your mom your cut out for caring for a pet and it will also show yourself you can handel the responsibility

Ask her to let you keep it for a weekend or a short amount of time. During that time you can prove to her that you can take care of it yourself. And also tell her that you can pay for it on your own etc. If you can't, work for the money around the house or anything that would give you a couple extra bucks. good luck!
