Dona has been into the sport of purebred dogs for many years.  She showed Australian Shepherds in ASCA back in the days before they were AKC approved.  She later showed Quarter Horses and fished professionally until 2000 when she returned to the show ring with Japanese Chins.  In 2001 she owned and personally handled the #1 Japanese Chin (Oreo) in JCCA and #2 in AKC points.  In 2003 she took  Oreo to the #1 spot  in both  JCCA and in AKC points.  Oreo proudly  received an Award of Merit at Westminster in 2004 and took Best In Show twice during her career.

 After enjoying the success of Chins, the Caldwells fell in love with Cardigan Welsh Corgis and embarked upon showing and doing some Cardigan breeding under the name of "Ozmo".  In 2008 they decided to combine their efforts with Sharon and Eugene Nottingham who had formerly used the kennel name of "Notts".  Their new, joint kennel name was chosen to incorporate both former kennel names - "Notzmo".

The Cardigans who live with the Caldwells enjoy the country life with many acres to  explore.  They have a nice kennel facility and doggie room in their home.  It's not unusual to see them and their Cardis curled up in front of the TV in the den either!
