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!

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.
