Maria, I really hope that you can get a puppy. That being said, please make sure that the dog will be an indoor dog and that your mom wants the dog before getting your hopes up. If your pup is outside most of the time or even a large portion of the time, then it could cause significant problems. If that's the case, then the puppies might be better off being put in a shelter. I know you were saying that the dog MIGHT not be outside that much, but that is a big "MIGHT." My neighbor used to keep their dog outside, but it was truly horrible. We had to watch her freeze in the winter and almost have heat stroke in the summer. I hate to even think about it. Then one night she, oops disappeared! I'm happy to tell you that she went to a no kill shelter and was placed in a good home after that. She deserved it and I’m glad I could help her, if you know what I mean.
