    You need to show him you're responsible enough to look after one. Usually parents start with a pet that needs less attention. Goldfish, then rodent, then something a bit more time consuming.

    But if your dad simply doesn't want one, I'm afraid that's how it is. I wasn't allowed pets in my home growing up.

    Why is the breeder going to "kill" the dog?

    Tell your dad that you would like to save the dogs life and also tell him that you will help care for him/her.one more point is that its lovley to have dogs but when you get older you might not be there as much and dogs do get lonely as well. If you do want a dog you should sponsor one first and see if you really want one.

    Here's my problem - I volunteered for a long time at a shelter. People came in to sponsor, foster home to see if an animal was REALLY, REALLY what their children wanted. After a period of excitement the novelty wore off, the children lost interest, the dog got returned. Now the dog is X months older, less adoptable - and very likely not to get another chance. People adopting animals are well aware the dog has been "adopted" once and brought back.

    It's not fair and it can destroy totally "good" dogs.

    I think this is irresponsible advice. Dogs are not toys you return when they break or you get sick of them.
