Over the years, and many generations of dogs, Jack , Joe or Tony McCallum have had dogs of great influence, either by their work ability, type or breeding potency and impact. There would not be enough room to mention all of the dogs here that played a part in the process that ended up as The McCallum Cowdog

My Grandfather Jack McCallum regarded a dog called "Bot" to be the first dog he had that represented an all round working cattle dog. We all have to have a benchmark from which to pursue a goal , and "Bot" was that dog

My Father Joe McCallum had a dog called "McDangle" which he regarded as his best dog , a tough dog with more stock sense than most. A legend for the tasks he managed and the hardships he endured, traits still sought after. l was just a boy but can just remember this old black dog and the pride my father showed in him.

My favourite dog has been "Boss" for his sheer enthusiasm and versatility. I have witnessed work from this dog I had not believed possible, so he in fact taught me what could be expected from a dog, he produced many offspring that shared some of his  traits
