my mom is fine with it but for some reason my dad says no! we have a cat but no other pets, and my cat is pretty tolerant of other pets. I’ve come up with a million points as to why a yorkie puppy would be good for me. and the answer is no! I said I pay for it, and still no! please help me!!!!
Present your father with your research of the breed (everything you can find about yorkies AND a price range for purchasing one) and your plan of action (how you’ll care for the dog on a daily basis including a walking and feeding schedule).
Then type up a list of absolutely everything you know the dog will need and how much it will cost. Veterinary care, a stash of money for emergencies, hygiene products, crate, bed, toys, food, leash, collar, heartworm meds, flea and tick treatment, etc.
At the bottom of your price list, write how much you can come up with and how you plan to come up with the rest. Also include a contingency plan for if something goes wrong and you find yourself unable to care for the dog. Hopefully, you’ll never need this, but if your parents know that you’re aware of adoption and foster agencies, they’ll feel like they have "an out" should they decide that the dog can’t stay. Again, hopefully you’ll never need this.
If your parents see that you’re responsible enough to do the research and planning, they may be more apt to find you responsible enough to own the dog. I hope you really are! Good luck.
**P.S. If there’s any way you can type up your information, that’d be good. Make it look like a real plan of action such as those that are used in workplaces, church meetings, and other professional or group organizations!
Throw a temper tantrum.

This sounds more like a family relationship issue than a dog issue. You should find out more as to WHY he doesn’t want you to have the puppy. After you hear his reasoning, it may make more sense to you. Approach him with a polite, respectful, non-whining attitude and find out why.

wow…same question again and again!
parents’ house, parents’ rule.
get one when you are mature enough, able to earn your own money and buy your own home, then get whatever you want, not to say 1 yorkie, maybe 2 yorkies, another cat or a beagle and a pomeranian at the same time?!

You don’t want a yorkie! i think why your dad is saying no is because lots of times yorkies or Chihuahua’s bond with one person and bite the rest try Pipillon dog on him and get up Wikipedia for the Pipillon he might change his mind.

I’m a CPDT. If you need examples of the lists I suggested and sources for research, please feel free to email me, but it’d be more impressive if you did it on your own.
Show your dad that you are responsible enough to have a puppy. Remember having a puppy around the house can be a lot of work, picking up the poop and stuff, making sure it doesn’t chew on things it shouldn’t, and the big thing is training it. Good luck!

No means no – if mom was truly okay with it she would be the one talking to dad about the issue, and likely be able to sway his decision IF she didn’t agree with some of his points.
Ask him nicely why he doesn’t want a dog then accept his answer. Begging and whining doesn’t exactly show him that you’re mature enough to handle the responsibility, you know.
PS – unless you have a job, it’s highly doubtful you could pay for the dog and it’s care. Don’t try making promises you can’t keep, that could be a reason dad keeps saying no.
