Meet the breeder
I'm Michelle A., the breeder behind Evolution Sport Dogs located in Arab, AL. Our focus is on breeding dogs for sport and companions for active, experienced owners. We decided to start a responsible, in-home breeding program in order to produce quality sport dogs that also fit into a home setting. These dogs can do it all, and we make sure to foster that versatility in our puppies beginning from the moment they're born.

Koda, dad
Border Collie
About Koda
Koda is my do everything dog. He is always up for trying something new. He is a phenomenal disc and flyball dog. He has also just started competing in dock diving. In under a year, he earned all 5 disc titles. He also has 3 flyball titles, and few other sport titles. He has trained and competed in agility, but due to my disability, I am unable to run so we have had to put agility on the backburner. He is clear for all genetic diseases, except he is a carrier for ICM.
