Hello! I'm a girl of 12 soon to 13 and since 4th grade I've been dreaming of a golden labrador retriever. For my 12th birthday, they gave me a hamster, which my mother became obsessed with! Moooleh her but she yells that I can't take care of a dog and that she will do something to the hamster. To this day, I ask her to say only one yes, and the other I will do, ie to buy it, to walk it, to pour it food, to clean after it, etc. But she is strongly against, even Dad has already agreed and said he will convince her, but it seems that his task is not going well. Is there any advice on how to convince her of a Labrador ? Please no offense I just want a dog! Thanks in advance!

Dear dog is not just walking and giving food. Mine at Christmas had swallowed a garland of BGN 150. He had 2 pictures of his stomach and another 50 for medicines. Think. When he is small, the dog walks at least 5-6 times to get used to it, then at least 3 times a day, once at 6 in the morning and at 10 in the evening, when you are 12, I don't think you will do it.
God, what is your dog for? Your mother is right ... and I used to shout that I wanted a cat, that I would take care of her, that I would clean everything, and finally my mother would walk on her ass again. It's good that the baby was born, so now I have no right to a cat, otherwise the whole house would still be hairy. The dog does the same thing and smells it. For as long as I can remember we have dogs (crying buffaloes) and it's hell! Your clothes will only become hairy, and if you live in an apartment just forget, there is no point in poisoning your life.
Dear girl, every dream for every child is to have a dog or a kitten. I had a kitten at your age, but I also wanted to have a dog. I am happy with 2 already older dogs. They are 5 and 6 years old but they are still at home, I hope your dream comes true
1. No breed golden labrador retriever has a labrador, and ma and golden. 2. Do something nice for her and ask her. Honestly, we took my dog without my mother knowing, my father and I went to load the car and came back with a dog. Once your father is wound up, go ahead. 13-year-old girl
This dog is a little big to keep in an apartment (if you live in one), so I guess your mother is right. You will get bored quickly and you will stop taking care of him, then everything will remain for her. When you grow up you will get a little - not even one if you want :)
If the problem is the fear that she will have to take care of him, and that you will leave him, just explain to her how important it is for you. Show her information on the Internet that having a pet makes children more responsible. Prove to her that it's not just a whim and that you know what a dog's responsibility is. Check how much vaccines, food, etc. cost - show that you have considered the issue from a financial point of view. Tell her that you will spend about 2 hours a day in training and take care of him separately. These are my ideas for now, with which you could eventually succeed. But never take a dog over your mother's head. Do your best to make her agree, and only when she tells you to take it. Ana
thank you all and number 2 I asked without insults and bad comments and to tell you I live in a house with a yard
Abe, the woman is very right. You will feed it, you will clean it for 2-3 weeks. Then you'll get bored and don't tell me it's not true. It was the same thing at home. My children took my soul for a dog and I, with all my mind, finally gave in and we took. How sorry I was on the second day ... Not to mention that there were schedules hanging on the wall as to who would take him out and only after twenty days it started - now it's your turn, I took him out twice yesterday. Answer - it's not true, you took him out while he was at school, now it's your turn. And so on indefinitely. Meanwhile, the animal whimpers in front of the door, waiting for someone to take it out. Until I got sick of it and we took him to the village, where he lived to a ripe old age, but in the yard, where every dog's place is. So ... your mother is absolutely right.
if you have a yard, what's the problem? I really do not understand!!
It is very cool to have a dog, it is your friend. I have a dog and I picked up a cutie from the street lost or thrown away. We have a yard and it's not difficult, but I still walk them because they want to play and run with other dogs. Why do you want a retriever? Why don't you take it from a shelter - this way you will save a sweetheart, there are great cute puppies there. All are castrated and you will not give BGN 120. for castration, they put a chip there for free / another BGN 40. /, vaccine and passport / again free of charge - another BGN 35-40. / And such a dog is exempt from taxes. This is not a small thing. And it will become more important because the rules will become stricter for registrations, taxes and chips. Really go and you will like some cute puppy. There are also thoroughbreds. Abe people are already throwing everything away. This is the most cruel thing. To take and throw an animal. As a child almost.
He also gave a dog for his birthday.
I understand your desire to have a dog. I was in your position until a year and a half ago. I have wanted a dog for several years and finally my wish came true, but I was far from prepared for the responsibilities that awaited me with the dog I received. I had a great desire and I thought I was aware of all the needs that the dog will have, but they turned out to be bigger than I thought. The dog had to be taken out 3-4 times a day, starting at 5 in the morning (because I was going to school at 6.30) and ending at 10-11. It was quite difficult at the beginning, but soon I got used to it and adjusted my schedule so that I have time for walks (given that at least one of the walks should be 1 or 1:30 as the dog needs quite a bit of movement). I want to tell you, that you must first think carefully about whether you have the opportunity to take the time you will need to walk your dog. If (when) you think you are prepared enough to take on this responsibility (and the dog is a really big responsibility, after all, this animal will rely only on you) you can sit down and talk to your mother once more about it. If that still doesn't work, you can leave things like that for a while, during which you can do various household chores to help your mother, but also show her that you are ready to take on more responsibilities. That worked for me. You only need a little patience to achieve everything, but only if you are familiar with the needs required by the breed you have chosen and whether you are ready to meet them. I wish you could find a four-legged friend, to love with all your heart, whether he is purebred or not! Good luck!
Now number 4: there is a breed of golden retriever, labrador there is also a labrador retriever (cross between the two). The author thought about how much hair this dog would let go, I have a golden retriever and I can barely handle it.
Malee, I fell off the chair while reading that dogs require a lot more care than you think .. You are only 12 and you will take care of a dog ..
