I don't wanna encourage you to do anything you don't really feel ready for, but sounds like you've kinda already made up your mind ..You know the work that goes into a puppy..I'm not familiar with the breed (other than they are big, beautiful dogs), but how "trainable" are they as assistance dogs? Is there anywhere nearby that could help with that? Seems like a large breed would be perfect for helping you and you mom with any mobility issues if trained for it..
Gosh, then there's the emotional reality that none of that matters & you just love the dog..
I don't envy your decision..Baby anythings are pretty much irrisistable to me..
