How to get my parents to allow me to get a Border Collie pup? Dog Breed Discussions
I have had 4 dogs in my life, Sadly, only 1 is left (They all died of old age...They were older than me) I am 13, and I know what it takes for a Border Collie...My birthday isn't close, so I was wondering if someone could give me a few tips. Don't pull the 'You don't sound ready for a Border Collie', I have grown up around dogs, and I go to an online school, so I can be with my dog almost 24/7.I've researched into Border Collies...I know they are energetic and such...I plan on training it, and doing stuff like that, along with the outdoor things (Advanced Tricks and other things, Maybe even Agility) As for what they said, They just said no, because A) My mom kind of wants a break from dogs and B) My dad just said no, because he doesn't get me or my brother things unless it's around birthday or christmas. (I looked it up, and the places that I found near me that sell puppies (And seem reputable)) Have an upcomming litter this summer (My brother doesn't really want a new dog, so asking him to ask for one is out of question.)Actually, My brother just doesn't want to ask for a dog. He actually loves dogs, my whole family does, and Yes, I would beable to give it the care it needed. Doesn't matter if you're on a ranch or not, as long as you the ability to get it the exercise and such it needs.
