Experts have applied the ancient Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty to determine the most attractive dog breeds, revealing Scotland's Cairn Terrier ranks highest with an 88.7% score. Following it are the West Highland White Terrier, Border Collie, and Rhodesian Ridgeback. This mathematical formula, rooted in measurements and symmetry, has historically been used to define beauty, even influencing Leonardo Da Vinci's work. Interestingly, the analysis also identified some breeds such as the Shih Tzu and French Bulldog as less attractive based on the same criteria.
According to their analysis, Scotland's Cairn Terrier is the most beautiful breed, with an impressive golden ratio score of 88.7 per cent.
The mathematical principle was used by Leonardo Da Vinci for the perfect human male body in his famous work, the Vitruvian Man.
So how does your pooch rank? Dating back more than 2,000 years, the Golden Ratio - roughly 1:1.618 - compares the measurements, ratios and symmetry of facial features.
