Coming Soon: Shar Pei
In addition to the Signature, Small Signature, and Signature Endangered pets coming this spring, March will also bring a batch of new featured pets, as well. Leading the pack of featured pets for March is the sharp Shar Pei! With its droopy eyebrows, wise wrinkles, and cute curved tail, the Shar Pei is one of the most distinguished and docile dogs in all of Webkinz World. This pup is pleased by a plate of its Peking Puppy Food and a peaceful pause under its Wrinkled Paper Lanterns. Look for the Sharp Pei in March 2010!
Now Retired: Webkinz Rottweiler
As much as we love each and every Webkinz pet in Webkinz World, the time comes when some of our older pets must be retired. Retired Pets are pets that we no longer produce. Today, we would like to announce that the Webkinz Rottweiler is being retired. The Rottweiler was released in July 2008. The brave Rottweiler is a guard dog by nature, so this pup is observant and smart. We bid a warm farewell to this dedicated dog!
Introducing Webkinz Small Signature Pets!
Our Signature pets are some of our most eye-catching plush, and the new Signature Endangered line will continue that tradition. Those looking for luxury and rewards of a Signature Pet in a smaller package and with a smaller price tag will love our new line called Small Signature Pets coming this March! The first is the Small Signature Beagle, which comes with an Off Leash Quiche and the Big Bark Clock Tower! With its memorable mug and small stature, the Small Signature Beagle is sure to be your best buddy. This pet has a nose for new adventures, so you’ll never be bored! And even though it’s small in size, it has a big heart! Adopt one now to make this small Beagle your best buddy today! Snag a Small Signature Beagle this March!
Coming Soon: Signature Pig
March may mark the beginning of our new Signature Endangered line, but our original Signature line is still going strong. Starting in March, we’ll be releasing two new Signature pets each month! Talk about twice as nice! The first of our signature pets for March is the portly Signature Pig! You’ll love rolling around in the mud with the Signature Pig! The Pig is the perfect porky pal, as it’s always ready to head outside to play—rain or shine—in its messy Muddy Marsh. And when you’re all tuckered out from a day of play, you can sit back and make your pig pal happy with a Homemade Apple Core Pie! Watch out for the Signature Pig in March 2010!

Introducing Webkinz Signature Endangered Pets!
This year, we’re expanding on the “Signature” series with a brand new line of pets called the “Signature Endangered” line! Signature Endangered pets are large and soft, and adopting one of these pets rewards a special piece of furniture from a Signature Endangered room theme, a Wish Token, and a Sanctuary Gift Pack that includes an Endangered-exclusive Sanctuary wallpaper and flooring. Signature Endangered pets will be drawn from the pool of endangered animals in the world, which include some of the world’s most breath-taking creatures. Kicking off the new Signature Endangered Line is the beautiful Bengal Tiger! One of the most elusive and rare creatures in all of Webkinz World, the Signature Endangered Bengal Tiger is shy but ready to warm up to you if you care for it. Your love will be rewarded in turn, as this timid tiger comes with a Wild Game Gourmet BBQ, Stealthy Steak Tatar, and the Dry Forest Sanctuary Gift Pack. We’ll be celebrating the launch of the Endangered Line in March 2010 when the Bengal Tiger hits store shelves, so check back here on Webkinz Newz for more in the coming weeks!
