(Callie)
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 Wind Blown 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.
