- Resistivity, Hall and Seebeck effects have been studied on single crystals of $Ca_{1-x}Eu_{x}B_{6}$ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) at temperatures 2-300 K and in magnetic fields up to 8 T. An insulating ground state is found to be limited by narrow range of Eu doping 0.6 ≤ x ≤ 0.8. This region is characterized by an enhanced colossal magnetoresistance (CMR), which reaches values of ρ(0)/ρ(7T) > $10^{6}$ for x = 0.63 at T < 10 K. Decreasing of Eu content in $Ca_{1-x}Eu_{x}B_{6}$ below x* ≈ 0.6 restores the metallic ground state with moderate resistivity (ρ ~ 1 ÷ 5 mΩ·cm) and CMR amplitude (ρ(0)/ρ(7T) < 7). The second metal-insulator transition (MIT) in $Ca_{1-x}Eu_{x}B_{6}$ is observed beyond the whole conductivity region found earlier in the narrow range of Eu doping (0.7 ≤ x ≤ 0.8). The correlation between the enhanced CMR amplitude, the onset of positive diffusive thermopower and the elevation of anomalous Hall effect, determined for Eu content 0.6 ≤ x ≤ 0.85, favors the idea that a smooth change of band structure is the main factor governing the reentrant MIT in $Ca_{1-x}Eu_{x}B_{6}$.
