Top 5 Dog Breeds for Dating

It’s no secret that taking your dog for a walk is a great way to meet new people, make a connection, and potentially land a hot date. A recent poll conducted by Kloof.com suggests that certain breeds might help you get a "leg up" on the competition – while others might hinder your chances.

The rankings are based on a survey that's representative of 1,000 pet owners and non-owners. The average age of respondents was 18-33, and included gay and straight respondents.

So without further ado, here's the list of Klooff's Top 5 Dog Breeds for Dating.

The top dog breeds to attract men were: 

5. Beagles
4. Poodles
3. Chihuahuas
2. Labrador Retrievers
1. Golden Retrievers

The top dog breeds to attract women were: 

5. French Bulldogs
4. Siberian Huskies
3. Labrador Retrievers
2. Golden Retrievers
1. German Shepherds

Apparently guys can’t go wrong with owning a retriever. People are over 10 times more likely to see a man who owns a Golden Retriever as "marriage material" or "boyfriend material," than a man who owns a Pit Bull. People are very likely to see a man who owns a Labrador Retriever as a potential "great dad."

And ladies, retrievers are "golden" for you too, but beware of Chihuahuas! Respondents were overwhelmingly more likely to see a woman who owns a Golden Retriever as "girlfriend material" than a woman who owns a Chihuahua. The vast majority of people surveyed think that a woman who owns a Chihuahua is more likely to be dumb than a woman who owns any other breed.
