Residents of the Nizhny Novgorod region in 2025 most often chose Chihuahuas among dogs and Scottish Straights among cats when buying pets. This was reported to the Zhivem v Nizhnem portal by the press service of the online classifieds platform.
Among cats, leaders by number of sales were Scottish Straights — they accounted for 13% of all cats sold. In second place were Maine Coons with an 11% share, and the top three were rounded out by British Longhairs (5%). Bengal and Oriental breeds also remain in demand (4% each).
It is separately noted that interest in Oriental cats has grown — their sales more than doubled over the past two years.
Among dogs, first place in popularity went to Chihuahuas (12%). Close behind were Pomeranians (11%), followed by Yorkshire Terriers (6%), Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (4%) and German Shepherds (3%).
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels showed the greatest positive dynamic: over two years their share in sales rose from 2.8% to 3.9%.
Earlier it was reported that half of Russians start a housewarming with a cat.
