Where did the kennel name come from? We started with Cocker Spaniels in the 70's. Although our first official conformation show was in 1978, our first two cockers weren't quite good enough and we got into obedience. Those two cockers, Sinbad and Yankee, were good in obedience and excelled on the recall. They would sit at the end of the mat and wiggle their butts and with all their body language say "Call me! Call me!" Hence our name - Kallmee!

We stayed with cockers till 1994 and had a number of champions both here in America and in Europe. We also had several champion English Cocker Spaniels over the years. We've had two Akitas, one Afghan Hound (Mason the wonder dog) and a champion Japanese Chin - CH Touches The Cat's Meow - Miss Kitty (aka "she who rules the roost"). We got our first Vizsla in the early 1980s and the rest, as they say, is history.

Although we are very active in the breed ring, we have continued in obedience throughout the years and have finished many obedience titles, taught classes (both conformation and obedience) for many years and judge matches for both venues.

We haven't been in the dog ring as much the last few years as our adventures have carried us into the horse show rings as of late. But look for us in the breed ring with Kallmee Athena (Zena) and in obedience with Ch Kallmee The Golddigger RN(Abby). In the horse ring you can find us showing Awesome Chocolate (Kisses) and The Chocolate Effect (Hershey) at the Appaloosa shows. Kisses was Reserve National Champion in Masters Western Pleasure and Hershey has numerous Top Tens in Trail class.
