Well geography has a huge affect on the pets people own. For example, in areas of the globe that have a cold climate, there are certain breeds of dogs that are better suited to cope with the freezing weather. A small dog such as a Chiuahaha is not suited to cold climates as they hate the cold. Dogs with thick coats tend to be better at living in snowy and icy conditions. Examples of such dogs are Siberian Huskies, golden retrievers, Saint Bernards (picture), and bearded collies. Image: http://www.best-dog-photos.com/images/Saint-Bernard.jpg
