Meet the breeder

I'm Bryan & Connie G., the breeder behind English Creek Staffords located in Lakeland, FL. We are located in central Florida and have been breeding dogs for 30+ years. We believe every breeding that is made should be planned and have a focus on the betterment of the breed. We breed our dogs with a focus on temperment and conformation. We know that a rock solid temperment is key in having the ultimate companion and best friend. We also know that in order for the breed to function correctly it is paramount that they meet the requirements in the breed standard. All of our pups are raised in home and handled and socialized daily. We start all of our puppies in puppy culture training at 4 weeks of age. Puppy culture is a comprehensive program for puppies that aims to optimize their physical and mental development. It aims to provide puppies with a foundation of experiences and skills that will help them grow into confident, well-adjusted adult dogs. This includes providing puppies with exposure to a variety of people, places, and experiences.

    This is Sundance, our 13 week old Staffordshire Bull Terrier. We’ve had him for 5 weeks . He is beyond amazing and so smart sweet & tender, well adjusted and perfect. Bryan & Connie are doing it right! Contacting the Breeder and making things happen was a breeze. They were responsive and helped us to get our puppy delivered from Florida to Colorado by recommending a flight nanny which made life easy. It was convenient using GoodDog to find English Creek Staffords & to have 3rd party protection. If you’re looking for high quality Staffy’s, don’t be afraid to give Bryan and a Connie at English Creek Stafford’s a chance. 💙

    Bryan and Connie are so professional and so kind! They are very knowledgeable and take care of all of the business things that have to happen prior to bringing your dog home. They are always responsive and happy to answer any and all questions. They send regular puppy updates and give you everything you need to get started on your journey! Would absolutely use them again and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to own a Staffordshire Bull Terrier!

    Our experience with Brian and Connie was outstanding. From the beginning they were responsive, transparent, and genuinely focused on making sure their puppies were going to the right homes rather than simply trying to make a sale. They were happy to schedule a video call so we could meet our puppy and always provided quick updates, photos, and videos whenever we asked. Since bringing our puppy home, we could not be happier. This is my fourth dog, and the transition has been the easiest we have ever experienced. His temperament is incredible, confident, sweet, and amazing with our two young daughters. You can clearly tell he was raised in a loving and well cared for environment. We are extremely grateful to Brian and Connie for allowing us to bring one of their puppies into our family, and we will absolutely return to them in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality Staffordshire Bull Terrier with an excellent temperament.

    It was a very easy and pleasant experience engaging with Bryan & Connie. I first inquired about a previous litter and the response was quick. Although that did not work out for us then we asked to be updated on a future litter. When that was confirmed we put down our deposit and waited. The process was painless, provided payment, provided necessary info, and agree to breeder contract terms. This I have to say was the best part outside of picking up our puppy as other breeders have quite absurd terms in their proposed contracts. English Creek Staffords terms were straightforward, reasonable, and understandable. Once the litter was born, we were kept up to date with their growth over the next 12 weeks, which allowed us to see their personalities develop before making our pick. At 6-8 weeks we chose our Patches! Mainly white with a large body patch, and eye patches. He is a wonderful boy. Very intelligent, curious, easily trainable, and eager to please. I flew to Orlando from North Texas and met Bryan and Connie at the airport. It was a great moment to meet our puppy as well as Bryan and Connie. We spent about 20 minutes chatting and going over the paperwork, then I walked him around a bit and just started the bonding process. There are a lot of great breeders out there, but for any future Staffie my family might acquire, we will put English Creek Staffords at the top of the list!!! Thank you Bryan & Connie!!!

    I am the proud owner of a 12 week old Staffy (Maverick) that I purchased from Bryan and Connie about 4 weeks ago. As far as the puppy is concerned: you can expect a beautiful, playful, tough, genuinely curious and affectionate canine. He had adapted seamlessly without any fuss to his new home and continues to garner nothing but compliments about his stocky build and beautiful coat. My experience in going about procuring Maverick was easy and clearly laid out from the beginning. Expect weekly updates from Bryan/Connie with photos/videos and timely responses regarding any questions/concerns. Bryan was able to anticipate most of my questions before I needed to ask letting me know about the puppy's food and discussing our pick up/handover plans in an accommodating and polite manner. Highly recommend using English Creek Staffords for anyone looking to welcome this breed into their family.
