I'm Emma G., the breeder behind Kallos kennels located in Ephrata, WA. the heart behind our tiny Maltese program. My focus is on raising exceptional, well-socialized puppies who grow up right in the center of my home and routine. As both a small hobby breeder and an AKC handler, I pour a lot of care into every litter, from temperament development to early training and cuddles. I’m committed to producing beautiful, well-rounded Maltese and making sure each one finds a family that’s truly the right match. My goal is simple: happy, confident puppies and happy families to love them.
Q. & A. with Emma
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding through my love for Maltese and my years in the AKC ring. Starting juniors at 15 with my boy Bently gave me a deep appreciation for structure, temperament, and quality. As I continued showing class animals and specials, I fell in love with preserving and improving the breed. Breeding became the natural next step to raise the next generation of beautiful, healthy Maltese.
What makes your program special?
My program is special because every dog is raised in my home with love, intention, and the same standards I learned in the AKC ring. I pour my heart into every puppy—from the pedigree choices to their daily hands-on care. My background showing Maltese and other drop-coated breeds helps me focus on structure, temperament, and quality that truly stand out.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
