FarmVille developer Zynga introduced a new puppy breed this week, for those farmers that just can’t get enough farm pets. Players can now purchase a Shiba Inu puppy for 65 Farm Cash.

The puppy is available in Brown, Black, or Cream. Like all FarmVille pets, players can also give it a custom name, and choose its sex. As a premium pet, it comes with the two weeks’ worth of kibble needed to grow it to full size.

Although it isn’t specifically labeled as being part of the Japanese Garden expansion, the Shiba Inu is a distinctly Japanese breed of dog – one of the few.

FarmVille developer Zynga has been releasing regional themed items expansions all year. French Chateau, Tuscany, and Southwest items sets have all come and gone from the FarmVille marketplace. With the current Japanese Gaden set winding down, most FarmVille fanatics were expecting another set to debut this week, and they weren’t disappointed! It has been revealed that Swiss Alps will be FarmVille’s next major expansion.

So far, there is only a single Swiss Alps item available: a Breton Horse. But since the animal is available for 21 more days and has its own Swiss flag expansion icon, it is all but a certainty that many more Swiss items are on the way.

FarmVille developer Zynga has been paying considerably more attention to their most hardcore players, lately. More and more high-level items are being introduced, with another batch being released today.

The new & returning items are:
Level 70: Clover Crop
Level 76: Amaranth Crop
Level 80: White Roses Crop
Level 85: Pheasant
Level 90: Forget-Me-Not Crop
Level 95: Cattail Pond

All of these high-level items are permanent additions to the FarmVille Marketplace, and all are quite expensive. The Pheasant alone is 2,000,000 coins!

Zynga also removed the FarmVille level cap entirely. It is now theoretically possible to earn enough XP to level-up all the way to level 999. The new XP table:

Level 91 = 876,500 XP
Level 92 = 918,500 XP
Level 93 = 963,500 XP
Level 94 = 1,012,000 XP
Level 95 = 1,064,000 XP
Level 96 = 1,120,000 XP
Level 97 = 1,180,000 XP
Level 98 = 1,244,500 XP
Level 99 = 1,313,500 XP
Level 100 = 1,387,500 XP
Level 101 = 1,500,000 XP
Level 102-999 = 100,000 XP per level.

Players only earn 1 Farm Cash when leveling up to level 100, unfortunately.

With FarmVille leveling now uncapped, what is the highest-level player you have come across? Leave a comment and let us know!

FarmVille developer Zynga added a new Japanese Barn today, continuing with the game’s growing set of Asian themed items. Players can buy the barn outright, or construct it with the help of their friends.

The barn is for sale for 50 Farm Cash. Players that wish to construct it first have to buy the frame for 5,000 coins. To complete construction, players will need to collect 10 each of: brick, reed thatch, bamboo, nail and wooden board. As usual, players can send these materials to one another from the gifts tab, request a specific material by making a Facebook wall post, or purchase materials for 1 FV$ a piece.

This new barn can store up to 20 items, and like the rest of the Japananese Garden items, it is available for 12 more days.

Wild West farming game Ranch Town from Meteor Games has gotten the jump on the July 4th holiday, adding a handful of red white & blue decorations to the Ranch Town shop.

Meteor Games doesn’t label the new items, but to the best of our knowledge today’s new additions are: Drum, Patriotic Balloons, TNT Crate, USA Flag, and Cannon. All these new decorations are for sale for coins, besides the flag, which is being sold for 250 MC$.
