Flute is Pregnant!

Ultrasound on Friday confirmed that Flute is pregnant.

This is great news! We are very excited about Flute and Jethro pups in 2015!

Our Veterinarian, who specializes in canine reproduction, Dr. Marty Greer, counted 3 pups in the ultrasound, though it is possible there will be more. Pups looked healthy, vigorous and it was already possible to see their beating hearts.

Flute is doing very well. She's very affectionate and snuggly, enjoying her food, gaining weight, and sleeping a lot more than usual.

Pups are due the week of January 7th and will be ready for their new homes in early March. You can follow the pups on their puppy blog. Contact us if you are interested in a Flute and Jethro pup: chimeradog@gmail.com

With luck, before we know it, this is what we will see!

New Chimera Standard Schnauzers Website Underway

In honor of Flute's new litter, I am getting a new little website underway. You can find the Chimera work-in-progress at chimeradog.weebly.com

For those who loved our long-standing Chimera website and who have wondered what happened to it, unfortunately, it disappeared from the web when our domain name was stolen in 2013. Frustrated, I held back from creating a new website under a new domain and tried in vain to get my original domain back.

I finally decided to just move on. I hope you like the new, small site. I am sure it will grow in the future to reflect more of Chimera's past and embrace our future!

Kit says, "Enjoy our new website!"

Flute puppies 2015

Flute has been bred to a wonderful young male, AKC Champion Jethro Artax's Angels. Jethro was born in Poland out of Russian parents and resides in Arizona at Seneca Standard Schnauzers. Jethro is truly an international boy and a great compliment to our Canadian-born Flute, who herself combines the best of Canadian, U.S. and European standard schnauzer lines. We are very excited about the combination of Flute and Jethro! We are hoping to keep an outstanding female ourselves. If you are interested in one of these pups for the show ring, performance or a family companion, contact us.

Flute goes for her ultrasound to confirm pregnancy and predict number of pups in just over a week. Stay tuned!
