The golden ratio has long been used to gauge beauty in humans, but reseachers recently applied it to dogs. To come up with the 10 cutest breeds, analysts measured the pup's attractiveness based on the distance of his eyes, ears, nostrils and tongue. Personally, I think all doggos are adorable, but here's what they determined.

10. Golden Retriever
9. St. Bernard
8. Rottweiler
7. Jack Russell Terrier
6. Samoyed
5. Basset Hound
4. Labrador Retriever
3. Wire Fox Terrier
2. Irish Water Spaniel
1. Dalmatian

Nobody tell my mutts (a Dachshund and a Pittie/Boxer mix) that they didn't make the cut. They'll always be the best ones to me.
