Answer
Reading a book or two is very important as a first step. Many books on the market are able to teach you what to look for in a breeder, in a rescue shelter, in a particular breed, amongst many other things. The first 16 weeks of a dogs life require the most careful planning: getting the dog socialized, getting the dog potty trained, getting the dog used to its new home, getting the owners used to providing positive reinforcement and leadership.
The truth is that the dog will belong more to your mom than it does to you, in the long run. I say this because most dogs live 12-15 years when well cared for. You will probably be in university in 6 years and unable to pay for the dogs care, nor will you be able to have enough time for the dog to do all of its walking and playtime, feeding and so forth (because you will be studying a lot, meeting new people, working part-time...etc.). So, this means the dog will be yours and your moms for 6 years, then it will be mostly your moms for the next 6-9 years, possibly even longer. For this reason, make sure that you AND your mom both really want the dog you choose, will both love her/him and enjoy her/his company. In other words this is a joint decision for both you and your mom together.
In apartments, you want to look at small dog breeds. You also want to avoid many different types of terriers, because even though they might be small, they need A LOT of exercise and outdoor time, some really need a yard. There are some terriers you can consider, but you must be careful.
In addition to choosing a breed of dog, you also want to choose a particular dog. If you get your dog from a breeder, be sure to ask them for a dog that is less dominant and more easy going. If you decide to rescue a dog, then make sure you go out and meet at least 3 dogs, then decide which one you think will be happy in an apartment and a good match for both you and your mom.
Make sure you and your mom read a book or two. Here is a book I recommend for your situation:
"The Art of Raising a Puppy" by the monks of new skete.
There are over 200 breeds and a lot of different mixed-breed dogs to choose from. It would be impossible for me to list all of the wonderful breeds that might suit you, but here are some:
Yorkshire Terrier
Pomeranian
Lhasa Apso
Shih Tsu
Chihuahua
Small Mixed Breeds
Miniature Poodle
Bichon Frise
Maltese
Papillon
Cairn Terrier
Silky Terrier
Rat Terrier
Miniature Pinscher
Pekingese
Last tip: Dont spend all your money on buying the dog, there are many expenses in the first year to keep your dog:
- Dog bed, Leash, Collars (puppy size and adult size), Dog Toys, Jacket, Crate, Pet Shampoo, Nail Clippers, Grooming Brushes = About $400 (Lower estimate)
- Vet visits at: (1) 8 weeks; (2) 12 weeks; (3) 16 weeks (4) 1 year. #1,2,3,4 for vaccinations and check-up. #4 also requires neutering/spaying your dog and possibly microchipping = About $400 (Lower estimate)
- Grooming at a professional grooming parlour at least twice per year for most breeds = About $150
- Cost of buying the dog. Rescue Dogs cost about $200-450. Purebred dogs from good breeders cost about $1,000-2,000. If a "breeder" is selling a dog for 300-800 DO NOT BUY IT: The dog is being abused and is unhealthy. DO NOT BUY FROM PET STORES: They rip you off and abuse the animals.

What should I ask for christmas?
Q. Please be nice, and don't tell me I must be a self-centered, snotty, rich, girl who just wants more, more, more! I'm not gonna lie since it's quite obvious at the bottom because I am very privilege and get alot of things that all girls dream of having like electronics, mac and sephora make-up, and Charlotte Ronson or Free People outfits. I'm not snotty and self-centered! In 7th grade which was about 3 years ago, I asked "SANTA" for 1 big present which was to help out a charity where I can send under-privileged adults, seniors, kids, etc. gifts, along with wonderful, homemade letters made with love and hope! It was wonderful to do it and even though the gifts and letters were sent after Christmas the people I helped out received them which made me feel good about myself and helped me find the true meaning of christmas when I received thank you cards from around the world that the charity translated for me. My parents gave me $10,000 to spend on gifts for the under-privileged people and non-perishable food items to send to the people also. In-case this would interest you I bought them toys, warm and regular clothing, things for school like pencils, pens and notebooks, shoes, food, hygiene stuff such as toothpaste, tooth brush, soap, and sooooo much more! I continue working with this charity ever since that year spending $10,000 for the people and i love it very much! IT FEELS GOOD TO HELP PEOPLE AND YOU SHOULD TOO! :)
Anyways while I continue with the charity this christmas I am also making a christmas list for me and this is what i own..........
Books
Clothing
Laptop
I-Touch
I-Phone 4
cases for the above
designer bagss etc...
I'm very girly and enjoy shopping and helping others :) MY LIFE IS FIGURE SKATING! I also enjoy playing on my school Volleyball team! :)
