You need to be patient and obey your mom. I had to wait 3 years for my kitten, and was constantly nagging my mom about her promise to get me one! Wait, and you'll get a puppy in good time. If my mom had given in and gotten me a cat earlier, I would have never seen my precious boy kitty that I have now! ♫♪

With Knowledge and Preparation.
Research the breed.
Get books on dog training.
Get flyers for puppy training classes.
Pay a pooper scooper.
Pay a Crate for the size your dog will be when fully grown.
Buy A leather leash
Pay your dogs food and water bowel.
Pay it some toys to chew on.
Puppy-proof your house.
Get the Vacine list, little booklette from the petstore or Vet,
so that you will be prepared and knowledgable when the shots are due. (there are a lot the first 6 months- 1 1yr. and annual boosters)
Look in your newspaper and call about dogs you might want.
Go visit litters of puppies or go to the Shelter.
Save your money so you can pay for your dog's food, and vacinations.
Arm yourself with Knowledge and Preperation.
By doing these things, you will show your MOM that you are responsible enough and can compromise to use your allowance/own money to care for your pet. And you will be the one who cares for the dog, feeds the dog, trains the dog, cleans up after the dog. Takes the dog for it's shots.
When your Mom sees that books, the time you have spent researching breeds of dogs, which make better house/yard dogs, campanions, easier to train. Which ones are natural chewers, and diggers, barkers, or high or low activity levels,
how big the dog will get, and how much care is envolved, she will take you more seriously.
Your Dog becomes a family memeber, and will live 12-16 years, so this is a commitment. So study well, a knowledgable owner, is a good dog person. A Dog owner who is willing to spend 10 weeks potty training, and obedience training their dog, and socializing the dog, is a deserving dog owner.
So by learning all about the breed of dog you want, and gathering the needed items to properly care for a dog, a companion for 12 years, YOU will live breathe, and talk dog to your Mom.
You will have the Power Of Knowledge and Preperation and by April when the litter of pups are born and June when they are ready to take home, If your Mom is seriously going to get you a dog in 2 yrs. I feel that if you do this study and prep and buy the needed items for a dog....YOU may have one as soon as School is out.
it's best to be home in the summer to train your dog.
YOU are the dog's pack leader, and the dog needs you for guidance.

Try to understand that "when we move" means she is thinking long term. It seems she is wanting to have a better housing situation that is more "dog friendly" Take the two years and SERIOUSLY do some research about different dogs that you think you might want to have for a lifetime, look at different rescue sites etc. You may be suprised to find it was actually a good thing to have to wait for so long.

sometimes parents do thing for the best, and maybe she knows that by waiting a few years, you will grow more responisble and she will give you the puppy. i had to wait a while for my dog too. but if you really can't wait, tell her you're gonna walk the dog, feed it clean up after it, etc. that's what i told my mom and i had to wait a little less than i would have had to if i didn't tell her all that stuff. also if you get the dog, don't slack off cuz your mom might taky it away. good luck =]

It sounds like you don't have to convince her to get you one. She just wants to wait until you're in a better situation which is probably wise. Meanwhile, I'm sure saving your money so you can contribute to your future dog's care and/or doing everything you can to educate yourself on how best to care for a dog would seal the deal in her mind. It might even convince her to get a puppy sooner.

Take her to an animal shelter. Pick a lonely dog out that you like and ask her if she would be sad if that was her. It worked 5 times for me! Also be paicent for an adoption for a more friendly enviorment.

It sounds like their just isn't enough room where you live or if you have enough space then let her know by doing chores and stuff that you are responsible enough to care for one now.

offer to do all the feeding walking poo picking up but dont whine cos she will think you are being childish and irresponsible(exactly what you dont want!).tell her she can rehome it if you go back on your word then stick to your word(remember its a long thing to stick to cos they can live upto around 15 years depending on breed).good luck.i did this with my mum and i got my way so i know it works lol
