Ah, been here, done this:)
When I was 14,I really wanted a puppy, more then anything. I begged. For weeks. So, my birthday was that month, and I got my first dog, a westie. She was more of a family dog though. But I got her by begging and saying I would help take care of her. She was more of a family dog.
That dog, became more of a family dog. So for my 18th birthday I wanted my own. My moms main arguments were.,
-who will take care of it, I don't know if your respnsible.
-dogs are expensive, I don't really want to pay for that.
-where will we keep another dog?
For the first question, I responded by saying, it's my dog and I will takecare of it. I showed her I was responsible by keeping my room clean, doing things whn she asked, arrived home on time.
For the second question, I said I would pay for grooming and vet bills or help out ad much as I can.
Forthe third question, I responded with, in my room of course!
Just begggggg and show how responsible
you are, play with your dogs, feed them, tAke them
for walks, cleAn your room, do the dishes when nobody asks.
Do this for a month or two and you'll get a dog:)

you have to prove to them that you're responsible.
do things that show them you can do it.
clean your room (even though they didnt tell you that you had to) clean their room, clean the kitchen, do extra chores, take out your other dogs for a walk, comb them, feed them (make sure you tell your parents though), be on time when you go somewhere, help out your parents with stuff, do the dishes, study harder/longer.
just do anything that will make them realize that you want this bad enough and that you'll do anything to earn their trust and that you're responsible enough.

Well, you said you already have 2 dogs, so why not help out more with them? Offer to walk them, play with them, feed them, anything that will show your parents that you are willing to take care of another dog. Goodluck!
