Want to snag a guy, ladies? Buy a Golden retriever.

The aforementioned survey found men "are overwhelmingly more likely to see a woman with a Golden retriever as 'girlfriend material.' Others on the top five list for the most attractive dogs for a woman: Labrador retrievers, beagles, poodles and Chihuahuas."

Want to attract women, guys? Get a Siberian husky, Golden retriever, Labrador retriever, French bulldog or German Shepherds, according to the survey results.
