Secret Keepins were produced by Kenner in 1994. They were a series of plush animals with a large plastic jewel-like disk on their tummies which hid a secret compartment inside, opened by a key.
There is no information on these toys on the internet, so if you know anything more about them then please contact me!
I have found three puppies so far, and have a small page already for them but would like to expand it if possible. Were there other animals produced?

If it's any help, I have found at thrift stores the exact three you have. So far, no others. I will definitely keep my eye out though!
-
My sister has/had one of these. I don't remember it as being a puppy. I'll ask her if she still has it in the morning and post pictures if it is different.
-
I checked. Hers is the white/pink pup.
-
I saw one in a thrift store a month or so ago.. Pink pup I think.
-
I do not know if more colors were manufactured. But I can tell you that I own the purple one.
- They used to come with jewels inside of the compartment.
- You get a light pink heart with an extension that makes it become a "key" to open the compartment.
- I believe the shape around the keyhole determines the bracelet(?) you get. Mine is a dark blue heart with a plastic lace-like border, and it has white elastic attached.
If you have any more questions I'll do my best to help. :)

This was an image I saved off of eBay (preview of a few pages of a toy catalog).
Anyways, I was mainly interested in the BSC dolls... but you can see a few of the Secret Keepins on the opposite page. It looks like the main 3 dogs we know about... but there seems to be at least two more lower down... a cat and a bear. I wonder if there was a 3rd one farther to the right...? Anyone have the (1994?) Kenner catalog?
Then again, that's the Kenner catalog. Could have just been prototypes. I'll believe the non-dog ones exist if I see it on eBay.

I have the pink puppy right now and I also have the silver charm thing that came with it. I have it listed on eBay right now but you are welcome to grab any of the photos to use!

I've since emailed Zuse personally about this but since this thread is still going, here's my Kenner 1995 Girls catalogue photo link:

I'm interested in the catalogue for the photos of the prototype littlest pet shop ponies 'sparkling fashion ponies'. Never seen them before so I'm glad I had a squiz at your album!
-
You wouldn't happen to have any catalog pics of the normal Sweetie Kitties? The only pics of them here seem to be of used ones.

Sure-

I had to use a digicam rather than a scanner because the binding is so tight - so it's a little warpy looking.
Sorry this is way OT, I'll try cross posting if there's a Sweetie Pups thread already!
