(Callie)

RiverRock's German Shepherds - CH RiverRock's Hotel California
Callie is the RiverRock foundation bitch. She exemplifies the RiverRock core values:  Soundness, Performance, Beauty, and Style.  Callie passed away in 2016, but she will always keep her place at the top of the Girls page and at the center of my heart.  My thanks to Kelly Foehl for finishing Callie, to Kim Schneider for training and trialing Callie in herding, and to Kent Boyles for recognizing and appreciating Callie for all that she was and for collaborating with me on several of her breedings.

Callie was sired by Ch Kenlyn’s Aries v HiCliff ROM out of Stoneway's Venus of Woodside.

RiverRock’s Mandolin Wind RN TC OFA H/E
(Mandy)

Mandy

Mandy is pictured here going Best of Winners and Best Opposite Sex on the way to her championship at Purina Farms with handler Kent Boyles.  Liz Oster also handled Mandy to major wins.

Mandy has been amazing.  She completed her championship at only 13 months of age under both specialty and all-breed judges.  She exemplifies the ideal working show dog that truly exhibits both the breathtaking beauty and the outstanding versatility of the German Shepherd Dog.  Mandy earned titles in both herding and rally in her very first competitions at the GSDCA National in 2018 with then novice trainer/handler Cynthia Curran.  Handled by Jessica Baldwin, Mandy also won the Versatility Conformation competition under Jim Moses at the 2018 National.

Mandy is sired by Ch. Kenlyn’s Aries v HiCliff out of AOE DAE GCHB Karizma’s Raven of RiverRock RN TC ROM. 

Breeder:  Dr. Zoa Rockenstein and Kathy Barrow

RiverRock’s Wind Blown Lily
(Lily)

Lily

Lily, litter sister to Mandy above and to Angus on the Boys page, was awarded First Place Open Long Coat Bitch at the German Shepherd Dog Club of America National Specialty Show, October 2018 under Dr. Morton Goldfarb

"A richly pigmented medium-large female of excellent breed type with an excellent over and underline.  Upper arm is long and properly angled, and the shoulder blade is well laid back.  Feet and pasterns are good, and her long bones are straight.  In motion, she is clean coming to me and no hock looseness going away.  The side gait shows good power and extension with good balance and harmony--an excellent example of the breed long coat." 
Dr. Morton Goldfarb.  German Shepherd Dog Review, January 2019.

Breeders:  Dr. Zoa Rockenstein and Kathy Barrow.
Owner Rick Tvrdik of Annandale, MN.  Litter sister to Mandy.
