River is a very Beautiful girl we purchased as a pup from our great friend, Patricia in Ontario, Canada to live with us here at the Sweetwater Farms ranch. She is a stocky girl—is more like the Berners you saw in the Old World. She is not tall and lanky. But, substantial in substance and has the drafty type build. She has high white and loves to prance around. Her paws and legs are thick and sturdy. Her hair is slightly wavy and easy to care for.

River loves to play with her many toys and coax us through her many antics to join her in a game. She is quite irresistible when she does this. River loves the snow and in the summer the kiddie pool full of fresh, cool, clean water is really her happy thing. She loves to stay right by my side—prancing with a big ol' smile on her adorable Berner face to do whatever task is at hand that day. River is a confident dog—not a shy girl. She walks right up to people and introduces herself, "Hi, I'm River and you are?" She is a joy to be with!

River is a full sister to Rio—same mother, same father—two years later. We were so crazy about Rio that we wanted to obtain as many as we could from this wonderful pair before their breeding career was over.
