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

In areas that have a hot climate, certain breeds of dog may not be able to cope with the heat. Brachycephalic dogs - (dogs that have a "flat faced" nose/head structure) feel the effects of heat a lot sooner than other dogs. Examples of dogs that do not do too well in hot weather are British Bulldogs, pugs and French bulldogs. Shorter haired dogs are better suited to hot climates, such as Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, Dalmatians, and Welsh corgis (in picture).

In a city, you might want to choose a dog that is more suited to apartment living. A dog like a golden retriever is not suited to living in a small space without a garden as they like to roam and run around. If you were trying to choose a dog to live in your apartment, a small dog that doesnt need too much space to roam and move about. A pomeranian (pictured) would be a good choice, a Havenese, a chiuaha or a Bichon Frise.
