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.

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 5 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.

Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
