Yay I finally figured out how to make a thread! Oh well. Anyways, does anyone know how to convince your mom & dad into letting you get a new puppy? i really want to get one and i would probably get a female lab. most likely a yellow lab. i hope they let me!

Heehee, I'll come over to your house and ask them! Use me as an example, I'll have for sure 3, maybe 4 dogs!

show that you are responsible..do chores without asking, do what you're told right away, etc. puppies are a LOT of work and take a LOT of patience and need training. no puppy/dog is cheap either. AND make sure you tell your parents that you will help them out with the puppy and do it. If your parents won't go for a puppy, then I suggest that you ask them if you can get an adult dog. Good luck. also, there are a lot of adult dogs that need homes in shelters/rescues, too.

I agree with Krista. Just what I was going to say

Krista, you to the words right out of my mouth!

iluvskipper, were you planning on buying a pup from a breeder, or rescuing from a shelter? Shelter animals always need help more than dogs that were bred. Sometimes, you can even find puppies at a shelter!

Great advice.

Good Luck in convincing your parents!
