I recently got a dog. The exercise and fresh air that comes with walking her is great! 
Congrats! What kind of dog did you get?
I wanted to get a popular breed so I went with a Husky. It was either going to be that or getting a chinchilla.
Awesome. How old is your Husky?
Just under a year. She's full of energy and a bit of a handful. She's active, but I love her.
Great! What was the husky originally bred for?
Well, from what the breeder told me they served as hunting dogs for the native peoples of Siberia. 
I see. That explains their thick coat of fur. How do they do in warmer climates?
Not great. They actually have two coats of fur, layered on top of each other and you can't shave it without it growing back funny.
Very interesting! I had no idea it was even possible to have two coats of fur!
