2021 RIVERROCK PUPPIES

RiverRock German Shepherds is a preservation hobby kennel in St. Cloud, MN dedicated to breeding outstanding show, performance, and companion dogs.  Breeder, Dr. Zoa Rockenstein, is an AKC Breeder of Merit and Signatory of the German Shepherd Dog Club of American Breeders’ Code of Ethics.  She is the co-breeder/co-owner of Ch. RiverRock’s Maybe I’m Amazed, awarded Best Puppy at both the U.S. and Canadian National Specialty Shows in 2018 and third place in the 2019 National Futurity.

“Amaze” winning Best Puppy at the 2018 German Shepherd Dog Canadian National Specialty Show from the 9-12 class.

RiverRock German Shepherds are extraordinary companion dogs who display the breed’s versatility in conformation, herding, rally, tracking, scent work, agility, obedience, and other events. Our breeding program is based on our core values:  Soundness, Performance, Beauty, and Style (in that order).  Our dogs are protective, not aggressive.  They are motivated to perform, but not endlessly demanding.

Show, performance, and companion puppies will be available in the spring, and summer of 2021.  The puppy contract includes a health guarantee.  All breeding stock are OFA certified free of hip and elbow dysplasia.

Applications, and deposits from approved buyers, are being accepted now.  See the Puppies page on our website for the puppy application and for pictures of the sires and dams, along with litter pedigrees of planned litters.  Please submit the application as directed on the website, before contacting me about puppy availability.  We will have solid black and black and tan puppies available sired by Ch. RiverRock’s Whistle Down the Wind TC CGC RN TKN (Angus) out of Ch. Karizma’s Black Gold (Dallas) to be homed in late February 2021.  Two additional breedings are being considered for May, with placements in September.

Strong preference will be given to show and/or performance homes.  I am happy to mentor seriously committed beginners, juniors, and owner-handlers.  RiverRock puppies are not available as “pets only”.  There is an expectation of involvement in at least one AKC sport (including, but not limited to, conformation, scent work, obedience, herding, therapy work, agility, and rally) to the first titling level out of respect for the breed as a working dog.  A RiverRock puppy is more than a pet:  it is an adventure!
