We purchased a male, orange and white Brittany from Mr. Bullard in September. Gunner is the smartest dog I've ever seen, not mention absolutely beautiful. He is already a precious member of our family. Thank you Mr. Bullard!

My son and I were shopping for a bird dog in 2007 and after visiting several breeders and kennels, were so impressed with the quality of Ed's dogs and his kennels, that we bought one of his Brittany pups. Our dog General Lee has been a fantastic dog. General was the stand-out in both of his obedience training classes and has proven to be one of the most easy to train dogs I have ever had. A true credit to his breed and the quality of his lineage. We put General with Ed's friend and professional trainer Tim Frazier for 3 months to get him started and he's done great. We had the pleasure of going on a hunt with Ed and Tim and several of Ed's dogs for General's first hunt. He performed very well and it was truly a treat to watch our young dog in action with the other veteran dogs. General is now 2.5 years and is a fantastic family dog, is bird crazy, very well mannered and just a great dog. If you're thinking about buying a Brittany, go see Ed. You will be very impressed with both him and his dogs.

We love our new dog Amber! She is everything we could ever ask for and definitely has the hunting instinct. She even pointed at a stuffed duck! Mr. and Mrs. Bullard are the nicest people we have ever met. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for us and Amber. When we visited the farm, we were amazed with how well they are taking care of their puppies. They produce great Brittanys! Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Bullard for the new member of our family!

My family and I met the Bullard’s a little over a week ago and purchased a 5 month old female orange and white Brittany that we have named Abby. The Bullard’s were very friendly and knowledgeable as they answered all our questions about owning a Brittany as a family pet. Since then, Abby has visited 2 different veterinarians – one for a health evaluation, and one for her final puppy shots. Both veterinarians pronounce her to be in excellent health. One veterinarian complemented us on purchasing Abby from a gun dog breeder instead of a show dog breeder as gun dogs tend to come from a more healthy/established bloodline. Abby has quickly learned to walk on a leash and kennel overnight – she is quickly moving toward being “housebroken”. She is full of fun and loves to run in her fenced back yard and play with her new toys.

What a treat! My wife and I made the trip to Nectar and met two of the best people in the world. I am sure the puppy we got will be as good. We enjoyed our visits especially the opportuntity to meet all of the dogs on site. I feel like we have two new best friends. The puppy(Red's Danny REB) we purchased is a joint venture with my dad. He is already worth his weight in gold. After returning from his chemo, Dad has spent time the past two days working with Dan. I so look forward to our first hunting trip with Dan. Thanks Mr. Bullard.

Mr. Bullard is an all around nice guy. If you do'nt come away more knowledgeable and excited about owning one of his dogs, it's your fault. We placed an order for a liver/white female and waited about 8 weeks for them to arrive. When the time came to pick our puppy up,my son had been wanting an orange/white puppy. Mr. Bullard twisted my arm and we left with two puppies at what I feel are excellent dogs and a good and fair price for me. Mr.Bullard has offered for us to hunt with him and we will take him up on his offer. If it's been awhile since you've been to his house make sure you ask him about the bridge. He will know what you mean. I hope to have more dealings with Mr. Bullard.

Blaze is our new family member. He’s the handsomest dog around, not just the sentiment of his proud family, but confirmed by everyone who sees him. He’s full of energy and learned to “sit” and “stay” the first two days with us, and is already fetching and retrieving stuffed toys. We were amazed and proud as we introduced him to friends this week and he struck a pointing stance! We chose the name Blaze before we even saw him, and to our amazement, his sire’s name is Reb’s Blazin’ Ace. Naturally, his Registered name will be Reb’s Blazin’ Deuce. He’s so aware of everything around him and we just know he’s going to find every bird within a mile. Next week he’ll start obedience classes, and with the intelligence we’ve seen already, surely he’ll graduate magna cum laude :-) Can’t wait to hunt with my new buddy!
Meeting Ed Bullard was indeed a pleasure! It’s easy to see that his dogs are his pride and joy. He gave us the grand tour of his facilities and introduced up to each of his Brittanys. What a great gentleman! What great dogs!! The immaculate and shaded kennels are located on his beautiful Alabama homestead. We could hardly wait to meet Blaze. Ed opened the gate and out ran a puppy right into his arms. He told us his wife enjoys holding them an they put their head on her shoulder when she picks them up. He handed Blaze to me and, sure enough, his head was on my shoulder. He instantly won our hearts. We’re looking forward to a long, happy, loving relationship with our buddy, Blaze. We’ll keep in touch and send updates during the coming months. Thanks, Ed, for breeding such great dogs, especially mine!

As I was looking for a breeder I came across the Gun Dog Breeder Website and the many reviews on Mr. Bullard and his Brittany’s. Not only was there plenty of positive reviews but it was also close to home. Shortly after finding this information I deployed to Iraq so the puppy search was put on hold. Just prior to returning, in June, I decided to contact Mr. Bullard and see when his next litter would be ready. Just happened he had a litter that was going to be ready the week I returned from Iraq and still had a few puppies from it. With my kids continuing to ask and my son’s artwork he had sent me while I was in Iraq of him walking his dog it was hard to resist the urge. The Bullard’s happened to have one female left so we decided to stop by on our way home and check her out and to make sure the Bullard’s were in fact the breeder we wanted to go with. You can probably guess the end result, we took home the puppy. Lucky has definitely added an unexpected dimension into my coming home from Iraq but we are all happy to have her and love having her around. The Bullard’s were very knowledgeable on the breed, their dogs and seem to truly care for the breed. You will in all likelihood see both parents on site which is always a plus and the Bullard’s hospitality was even more so. I may never hunt our Lucky but she definitely has it in her blood so whether you are looking for a good Brittany as a hunting companion or just a family pet, as we were, I would recommend the Bullard’s and would use them again.

I am now the proud owner of my second Brittany pup from Mr. Ed Bullard and i wouldnt buy a dog from anyone else. Mr. Bullards stock of puppies as well as started dogs are unbeatable not to mention when you buy a pup you will make a friend for life. Mr. Bullard is a first class gentleman and one heck of a dog trainer!! The puppy i just bought is a year old beautiful black and roan brittany with a huge heart and personality. I cannot wait for the chance to get him in the field this fall! He fit right in with the other dogs at my house with no problems at all. I attribute this to the wonderful job Mr. Bullard and especially his wife had done socializing him with other dogs as well as people. You can read the other testimonials and see that every dog sold has the same story. If you buy a dog from Mr. Bullard you can expect nothing but the best. Not only is my pup as birdy as they come as well as retrieving to my hand already but he is a great pet and spends most of his time in the house with my wife and i. If you are looking for a great pet/birddog/family companion you have found the right breeder. Also, as i stated earlier you will not find a finer man than Ed Bullard.

I didn't think we would ever send a testimonial to anyone...we are really not into the blogging, twittering, mail sending thing. We really feel compelled to send this one. Last week we met Ed for the first time looking for a Brittany puppy. While he didn't have any for sale, he was gracious enough to show us around the property (even with his broken leg!!) We ended up buying a 3 year old black & white female Brittany. I was unsure about how a non-puppy would work with our present dog family & our large animals. Let me say that Ed has the BEST Brittanys anywhere. This dog is amazing. She has blended so well with our family and has responded to field walks to find quail. Robert has fired several blanks over her head & she is so excited about the prospects of hunting! Only great thoughts for Ed & Austin Creek Farms! Thank you for a beautiful dog.

I purchased a Brittany puppy from Mr. and Mrs. Bullard a little over a week ago and I could not be more pleased. "Toby" is incredibly smart with a spunky little personality. He is a great companion and constantly brings a smile to my face. I am so happy that I chose the Bullards as my breeder. I know that I received a top of the line dog and made some really great friends. Anyone who is looking for a Brittany shouldn't look anywhere else!

I got a male and female puppy from Ed about a week ago. In all my experience working with people Ed is by far one of the easiest and most enjoyable people to work with. 1) You can't beat his price. 2) His personality is wildly entertaining. I really appreciate Ed's availability in answering questions long after the pup has been purchased. I think half the fun in buying a pup from Ed (other than paying considerably less for a great pedigree) is driving up Swann Bridge road, over an old wooden covered bridge built in 1933, and seeing a man beeming with excitement over what you are about to see. I have never seen a man so proud to pull out the books on his dogs. Not only did Ed have the papers on both parents with pedigree ready, he couldn't wait to show me! This man loves Brittany's and you will find it hard not to love every moment spent with Ed at Austin Creek Farms!!

---

I purchased a 5 year old female from Mr. Ed and the dog is just as Ed described her. I have worked the dog on released birds and she performs great. Ed takes pride in his dogs and I don't think he will misrepresent the facts just to make a sale. Looking forward to a continued relationship with him and his dogs.

---

I bought a dog from Ed on June 22,2007. We named
him Buster. Buster is now about 26 mths old and he has turned out to be a great hunting dog and a good family dog. When our friends see him laying on the couch, they say he cannot be a hunting dog. But when they follow him in the field they want to buy him. I understand Ed has a broken leg but the horse is fine.

---

I just wanted to follow up on a previous testimonial. I brought my brittany Molly to the vet for her check-up. The vet is also a bird hunter. He asked me where I got the pup from and I explained to him it was from Mr. Bullard at Austin Creek Farms. He told me my dog was one of the finest specimens of a brittany he's seen in quite some time. This is from a vet and bird hunter.

My dog Molly already at 8 weeks strikes a very typical pointing stance when she get's something in her nose. I know that all I'm going to have to do is get her to react to the scent of the quail in the same manner. Mr. Bullard's dogs come into this world knowing how to be great bird dogs!

---

I purchased an orange and white female from Mr. Bullard in February of this year. 'Abby' is a brilliant and beautiful dog. She's a healthy puppy, that loves to be outside. Her instincts are impressive, she regularly points without any training. Mr. and Mrs. Bullard were very helpful and knowledgeable about their dogs.

We got our FOXY a little over a week ago. We can already tell she is very smart! We have two boys and they love her.
Mr. Bullard was very helpful. We called for information and had a dog as soon as she was old enough. Easy! Very nice people! Thanks for our new addition!

---

Many thanks to everyone for the wonderful testimonials that have been posted on the gundogbreeders website. I can't begin to tell you all how humbling it is every time I read over these. Not only have we enjoyed raising these great pups, but we have acquired so many new friends and family members that have truly enriched our lives. Thanks also, for helping us reach 100 testimonials, a first for the website. Thanks to all of you who have hunted with me, bragged on my dogs and my shooting, really helping a guy's self-image. Please all, stay in touch, and thanks again.

With warmest regards!
Ed and Ms. Donnie

My wife and I purchased a male Brittany from Ed back in December 2008 and the experience was a true pleasure. This was our first time buying a Brittany and Ed spent a lot of time with us showing his dogs and telling us about each of them. We've been very pleased with our new family member and our next Brittany will definitely come from Ed.

---

I hunted with Ed Bullard and his great dogs. I was amazed at the ability of both. He is a wonderful trainer and friend. Before the hunt was over I wished I had my camera just to take photos of the dogs and the way they would back each other. Time is not my friend or I would hunt with Austin Creek Farms all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---

I have spoke with Mr Bullard on the phone quite a few times, we were hoping to get one of his puppies. We are going this weekend to pick up one out of his dogs, I can hardly wait. Mr Bullard has been extremely helpful. You can tell right away when you talk to him that he really loves his dogs. He has been very helpful, and willing to share his knowlage of the Brittany breed. Super nice man, I cant wait to meet him.

When I was looking for a quality breeder of quality Brittanys I asked around and searched the net for someone who not only bred dogs with the kind of background I wanted, but also does his breeding, not just for the money, but for the love of the breed. Ed Bullard is this kind of person, he doesn't run a 'puppy factory'. He loves his Britts, and he loves to 'talk dogs' and hunting, and will spend all day doing it.
After talking to a number of breeders, I certainly could have found a bredder a lot closer to home, but what drew me to Ed were the testimonials on his Austin Creek Farms website. If you believe the old adage, "Only believe half of what you read.", you will still be very pleased with a Brittany from Ed Bullard.

We got our Brittany from Ed about 6 months ago. She has been a delight for our family, Our 2 girls just love her. She is very smart, eager to please, and is great around the kids. I am not a big hunter or a dog trainer, but have been excited about her behavior. Just last week my brother in law, who also has a Brittany, and I were just playing around with the dogs in the back yard. He pulled out a Quail wing to show how the dogs would act, and our dog would lock up and point. I know. that does not mean a great deal, but I am in great hopes that it is a sign of more good things to come. As far as Mr. Bullard, he was a joy to deal with and you can tell he really cares for his animals. Overall, our experience with Austin Creek Farms was outstanding.

---

Ed, good to hear from you. I will be forwarding you pics of the kennels, and you can see how this set up aids in cleanliness. I am always glad to hear from people who have purchased dogs. Cheif was the best Brit I ever had the pleasure of running, and you can't buy a better bred one. I understand why his Sire holds so many NSTRA records. Please keep in contact, Don Markham

I have known Ed for several years now, and we have become great friends and hunting buddies. I own several Brittanys that have come from his kennel, and I could not be more pleased. They were very easily trained, born gift wrapped hunting dogs, great attitude and enthusiasm. Thanks for the great hunting dogs, and the fellowship!

I own a quail and pheasant farm and hunting preserve in Blount County, Alabama. Many of the hunters that hunt with us using their own dogs hunt behind Ed Bullard Brittanys. These dogs hunt hard and are very biddable. I have known Ed for many years, and have never seen anyone that loves the Brittany breed more than him. When someone asks about a brittany, I only know one name, and that's Ed Bullard. Marvin Vick--Vick's Gamebirds and Hunting Preserve--Oneonta, Alabama

We bought our Brittany puppy, Jordan (pronounced Jer-dun), in January. She was 6 weeks old and the most beautiful puppy we had ever seen. Mrs. Donnie was so sweet when we drove up after a 5 hour trip and she immediately showed us around. The dogs they have are simply breath-taking. You'd have to see them to know what I'm talking about. Jordan was so tiny and we immediately fell in love. She's now 12 weeks old and such a wonderful puppy. She's gorgeous and she is obedient, which was very surprising to us. We know that she comes from good blood, which truly makes all the difference. We can't imagine our life without her--our two little girls absoultely can't wait to play with her every day and Jordan can't wait to play with them. We are so thankful that we found Mr. and Mrs. Bullard and look forward to visiting them with Jordan in the future.

You won't be unhappy with your puppy! Only do business with the best, and that's with Mr. Bullard!

my husband, gary, and I love Brittanys. We learned about Mr. Bullard from a mutual acquaintance and recently purchased a 6 week old
female from him. We named her Lakota Braveheart.
The first thing Mr. Bullard told us is that Ed
Bullard don't raise no ugly dogs. That is certainly true. All of his dogs are well cared for and all are BEAUTIFUL. His farm is not a
puppy mill, and one can easily tell that he and his wife genuinely care for their animals. His
nursing females are well socialized; we were able
to handle the puppies without any upset from the
mother at all.
We noted that all his enclosures were warm and
clean, no feces in sight, plenty of bedding material for his dogs.
I would certainly recommend Austin Creek Farms
and Ed Bullard to anyone, with no hesitation. We
plan to buy our next dog from him, when the time
comes.

Mr. Bullard is not only a breeder of great dogs, but a knowledgeable man that was more than happy to help with every aspect of my new brittany. He always answered each of my calls, or returned my message ASAP. This was important to me for a transaction initiated on the internet.

My dog was not going to be ready for a few weeks, but he kept me informed of their progress on a regular basis. Additionally, Mr. Bullard was more than happy to assist me in information about training my dog, selecting a shotgun, you name it! He is clearly passionate about bird dogs, and it shows! I can't think of a more positive experience in buying a dog!

As my sons get older and we hunt more regularly, I'll get a partner for my new dog. I won't hesitate to buy from Mr. Bullard. I not only found a great breeder that cares for great bird dogs, but what I think will be a great friendship for many years to come.

Thank you Mr. Bullard for a great experience, and for those considering a new brittany, call Ed. You'll get a great dog as well as have the opportunity to meet a great man.

Back last summer I bought 2 pups out of Austin Creek Kennels, a female we named “Shelby” and a male we call “Jackson”. I’ve held off a little while to submit this because I wanted to give an honest report of how these two dogs are coming along. After all, everyone loves a puppy.

Well Shelby is a pleasure just to watch run. She is about 8 months old now, and will cover a field in short order. She points, holds “fair”, retrieves quail to hand, and responds well to hand and whistle commands. Jackson is about 6 months old, and very “personable”. He is your best buddy, always attentive and ready to please. He is not as fast as Shelby right now, but has a great nose and covers ground more methodically. Jackson also backs another point naturally. Both dogs have had quail & pheasants shot over then. These dogs were well socialized with people when we picked them up, all pretty good for a couple of dogs that are still really just puppies.
I’ve never trained a gun dog and needed one with as much natural instinct as I could get. Well, I feel like that’s exactly what I got. Ed is a great guy to deal with and I have talked with him several times about how these dogs are coming along. He is quick with encouragement and advice when needed. I don’t know how he does it, but I’ll swear Ed remembers every dog he sells.

Mr. Bullard may be a good salesman, but when you see one of his dogs perform they sell themselves. I’ve already been asked several times “where did those dogs come from”? Alabama………Austin Creek Kennels. Thanks Ed.

We have what is now an 8 1/2 week old male. He is a very loving dog and we've had so much fun getting to know him. You can tell that he is very smart and he's already had some fun with quail wings and loves to chase all the birds in our yard. We had a wonderful experience with Ed and Miss Donnie and we would highly recommend them to anyone interested in a Brittany. Thanks so much for our new member of the family..."Captain."

One of the biggest surprises I receieved was when Sadie poked her head out of the kennel and looked me in the eyes....A gift from my Great Friend (Jim) and Wife (Shellie). I had no idea Sadie would be so smart and loving as a puppy! There is no giving her up now, because of Sadie's eagerness to learn and please. Thanks to everyone, and to a Great Brittany!

ON 02/12/09 I WAS GREETED BY THE BULLARDS AND MET MY "LIL DOC" FOR THE FIRST TIME. ED & HIS WIFE ARE EXTREMELY NICE PEOPLE AND YOU CAN TELL THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR DOGS. I FOUND THEIR FACILITY AND ANIMAL HEALTH TO BE EXCEPTIONAL, I WOULD RECOMMED THEM TO ANYONE. AS FOR "LIL DOC", HE POINTED TWO QUAIL WITH HIS LEFT FOOT AND ONE CAT WITH HIS RIGHT-I BELIEVE HE WILL BE DRIVING MY GOLF CART IN A MONTH.

My youngest son told us about a year ago that he had wanted a dog since he was born. Needless to say the search was on. We wanted a dog that would be great with children and also a hunting partner. We got much more than we had anticipated as we also got two new friends in the Bullards. I had done some research on Brittany's and knew the breed we wanted but had no idea where we were going to get the new member of our family. I had originally found a breeder in South Carolina and had been corresponding via e-mail and had planned to purchase a puppy from him. That was until I found Ed and Donnie. When I found this website and read the testimonials, I thought to myself, no one can be this good or kind. And you know what I was right. The Bullards are more than these testimonials can describe. You have to experience meeting them to understand. There are some people in your life you remember forever and this is one of those couples. Originally my two sons and I met them to "check out" the dogs and meet the Bullards and we came away with a great experience. I then took my wife when we went to pick up our new family member and she felt the same way we all did. We are proud to say we know the Bullards and have one of the puppies from their kennel. We named our puppy Maddison and call her Maddie. We plan Pheasant hunt behind her in October in Minnesota and can't wait. We also plan to see the Bullards as often as we can. Thank you Ed and Donnie for welcoming our family.

Two weeks ago I got my second brittany pup from Ed. After the tragedy that happend to Scootie, I new the right person to call. I called Ed and he told me to come and see this puppy he had,that he was something special. I trusted Ed and drove to his house. There I saw Cooper. The minute I saw him I melted. He was just what I wanted. Cooper is a orange and white male with a orange heart right on his head, I could never pass him up. Our new puppy Cooper is now the man of the house. He is so special and smart, Cooper has begun to fill the holes left in our heart from Scootie. Both pups that we have gotten from Ed have been very special in their own ways. It is a blessing to have Mr. Ed and Ms. Donnie as our friends.

I bought my brittnay from Ed 1 year ago this Jan. 2009. Gus has been hunting quail since he was 7mos. old.I have killed over 100 birds over him before he was 1 year old. He has also pointed woodcocks. Gus has hunted alone as well with other dogs he hunts woodcock with a 5 year old German Shorthair,which I have seen both dogs back each other.Gus is a good at retriveing your down birds,I have seen him find them in the thickets and twice I have seen him go in a farm pond swim and retrive the bird. Gus is a fine looking black and white male brittnay loves to hunt and please Ed was the first man to kill birds over Gus I had left Gus with him while I went to China for our sons wedding. Thats the kind of man Ed is I could not think of Gus staying at a vets while we were away so Ed found a place to keep and work Gus while I was gone. Gus hunts and is a pet stays outside during the day inside at night he is our companion at home and in the field. Everone who has been hunting with Gus loves him. Thanks Ed..

I had been talking to Ed only by phone. At this time, I had only seen his ad in Covey Rise, and I was curious about Brittanys. I presently have German Short Hair Pointers, but I became interested in Brittanys. I got a lot more that I bargained for. Not only was Ed straight forward, he was willing to let me "melt his ears". Ed answered all my questions, and I asked if my wife and I could pay him a visit. What an experience! Ed and Donnie were like our next door neighbors that we'd known all our lives. My wife almost came home with a puppy before I could say hello. Here's the bottom line: You want honesty and straight talk? See Ed and Donnie Bullard. You want a great dog with tons of potential? See Ed and Donnie Bullard. You want to be treated like "kin folk"? See Ed and Donnie Bullard. I put my deposit down on a future puppy. Nothing to worry about. Ed and Donnie will see to that!

I became friends with the Bullards a few years ago and have grown to care for them as family. As a trainer, I have found the dogs from Austin Creek to be exceptional to work with. I have trained several of Ed's dogs, and dogs for Austin Creek customers, and I'm well pleased so far with the results we've had,especially with young dogs. Any trainer worth his/her salt will tell you, a dogs success has a lot to do with how they are handled and socialized the first few weeks. I've trained dogs from Austin Creek from 8 weeks to 3 years old, and it's obvious they are handled correctly from the start. I have 2 dogs in training now from Ed's kennel, and had the pleasure to shoot birds yesterday over a 18 month old male which is pointing, honoring, and retrieving great. I look forward to working with more dogs from Ausin Creek in the future.

I decided I wanted a bird dog and after much thought and research settled on the Brittany breed. I then went about the search for a breeder in my general area, I found several. I then went home to tell my wife the glorious news about how I wanted a bird dog. She was not nearly as excited as I was. Well, that was an understatement, she was totally opposed to the idea. I pleaded my case and she felt how passionate I was about the idea and because she loved me, reluctantly agreed to the idea. I then went and got my laptop and I showed her the websites I had saved and together we looked at each site when I got to Ed’s site we read every one of the testimonials. We both agreed this guy was worth a phone call. We called Ed and asked if we could visit. He said sure as he was home that day. We are roughly an hour drive from Austin Creek Farms so we are fortunate. I wanted to see his operation and meet the Sire and Dam of my potential pup. My Wife and I arrived and Ed and his Wife welcomed us and we toured his kennels and sat in the kitchen and drank coffee, if you visit plan to stay awhile. Ed and his Wife are very warm hospitable people and after a short time we were talking as if we were old friends. We met both of the parents of his next litter Annie and Chief. My wife fell in love with Annie, and we put a deposit down for an orange and white male.
We went back to visit Mr. Bullard last week to see the pup, Annie had one orange and white male and all of the puppies looked great. My wife was also very pleased to see Annie who was about as exited to see her.
In a nut shell if you are looking for a Brittany and can’t visit Mr. Bullard, take my word for it, the animals are well taken care of. Ed and his wife care about the animals. My Brittany will be trained to hunt but will be a family pet for my wife, myself and our two boys. I will return and let you know how both turn out in the future. In the meantime we wait the next few weeks until we can pick up our puppy. By the way my wife told me yesterday that she can’t wait until we can pick him up!

We are picking up our orange and white female pup in 3 long agonizing weeks. We can't wait, to say the least. Speaking to Mr. Bullard has been informative and fun. He knows his dogs and how to treat people right. Really looking forward to meeting his family and seeing his operation.

---

we have purchased two brittany spaniels from Austin Creek and we've been very pleased. the dogs were exactly what we wanted and what we were told we were getting. Ed has been very friendly and has went out of his way to get our dogs. i feel very confident if we have any questions that he would be welling to answer and help.

I have not personally met Mr. Bullard but I have talked to him several times. I first called him looking for a puppy and he told me that he did not have any at that time but he knew someone who had two of his dogs that were one year old for sale. My friend and I purchased both of the dogs which were male and female littermates. They are both making very good bird dogs and extremely good companions. I have found Mr. Bullard to be a very honest, knowledgable, and enthusiastic breeder. I have placed my order for a puppy from his next litter.

---

My wife and I had decided to get a puppy for our 3 year old son and 10 year old daughter for Christmas. The puppy was also to be a hunting companion for me, so I spent a good bit of time looking through websites and reading testimonials. I decided after reading all of the testimonials for Mr. Bullard that this was the place to get our pup. I then called Mr. Bullard and talked on the phone with him. (From this first conversation I learned to block aside some time when you call Mr. Bullard....it doesn't seem like a very long time while you are talking, but you can easily spend a long time talking dogs and hunting with him !) Anyway, we were scheduled to go see the dogs and put down a deposit on a puppy (I could have mailed the deposit but prefer to see what I am paying for before I pay for it), but my brother got sick in the meantime and I spent most of my Christmas break and a good bit of vacation time filling in for him in the construction business that he and my dad own. We (the wife, the boy, and I) finally got up to meet Mr. Bullard and his wife right after Christmas. I was very impressed. The Bullards are extremely nice folks who obviously care a lot for their animals. I was impressed equally by them and by their dogs !! While Mr. Bullard didn't have any puppies available when we were there, I gladly left a deposit and told him that I wanted a puppy when one was available. I would encourage anyone who might be interested in a puppy to contact mr. Bullard. Talk to him. Go by and meet he and his wife. If you want to buy a puppy this is the place...and if not you will get to meet two extremely nice folks who will gladly talk dogs and hunting with you.

Anissa and I got a 4 year old Brittany named Sara from Ed in 2008. She is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met and an A-1 hunting dog. She will turn on a dime and retrieve to hand like a glove. She is a house pet by day and a hunting dog on the weekends. We couldn't imagine a day without her. Ed and Donnie are two people that will steal your hearts in seconds and have you wanting to come back to visit them every chance you get. I've always said one will accumulate friends in the hunting dog business but Anissa and I were blessed to get new family members in the Bullards.

Kristi and I picked up our orange and white male on Dec 26th 2008 as a Christmas gift for both of us as well as a companion to our 10 month old Golden Lab mix named Bagger. Ed and his wife made us feel at home and treated us as family, and their should be no doubt that the Bullard's love and care about their dogs. We do not intend to hunt the newest member of our clan who we named Junuh, and he has kept us running every since we brought him home. He is very healthy and full of mischief and and has worn us all out but we know that the end results will be worth the lack of rest now! From everything that I have heard and read, the term "that dog wont hunt" does not apply to the Bullard's Brittney's. We were very impressed with the clean kennels and how Mrs. Bullard dotted over the pups. You cant go wrong if you want a Brittney, it was a pleasure working with Ed and Donnie and we appreciate them for caring so much about their dogs!

I had a 16 year old Brittney that I had put down about 8 months ago. I thought after that loss that I did not want another dog. My 9 year old granddaughter gave me an 09 calender for Christmas that had Brittneys all over it. After recieving the calender, I went on line where I found Ed's website. I made a call to Ed and we made a trip to north Alabama last Sunday after church, where we were greeted by Ed and his wife and were treated as though they had known us all our lives.
Ed had one orange and white male puppy left from a litter that was 6 weeks old. It was love at first sight and the puppy now resides with us in Fortson, Ga.
Ed, thank you and your wife for your warm reception and for treating us like you did. We are so pleased with Chris(short for Christian)and he is a joy to have in our family. Thank you,Butch,Connie and Katie.

Wow!!! Being referred to Mr. Bullard was the BEST thing that could have happened towards getting my first bird pup ever. Mr. Bullard promptly answered every question I had to him. I was absolutely blown away with the genetic bird characteristics Kate immediately showed. She has brought so much joy to me and our whole family. My grandmother, who has always disliked dogs, absolutely adores Kate!! She shows so much passion and want in the fields its just truley awsome to see her work. Ever since the trip to Hayden, AL my life got better. A hunter and a lover is a good phrase for Kate. I am getting another pup for a close friend from Mr. Bullard next month and would recommend him and his pups to absolutely anyone. Austin Creek Farms has PURE TRADITION in Brittany Spaniels!!!

Thanks Again,

I purchased a year old Brittany from Mr. Bullard last Dec. He had originally sold Hero as a pup to a family who had to give him up for family reasons. Mr. Bullard came to their rescue. I called about a "started" dog and he told me about Hero. He was not started but was trainable. I had never owned a "bird dog" before and was somewhat hesitant about training him myself. No worries here as this Britanny more or less trains himself with a little encouragement. He is pointing and holding very well now and is a great companion. He has been a great addition to our family. Mr. Bullard is truly a "Southern" gentleman and I would recommend his dogs to anyone.

We had a pair of Brittany Spaniels (Eli and Lily) in our family for three years. We lost Lily a few months back, and after a few weeks decided to start looking for another little girl for Eli to play with. I found Mr. Bullard and after a few minutes of speaking with him I knew that I had found a wonderful breeder. He truly understood how much our dog had meant to us because his dogs are so important to him. My mom and I traveled and picked up Whitney on October 9. She was five weeks old and cute as a button. We were both impressed by how much Mr. Bullard cared for and loved his dogs. Whitney is a spirited puppy who became a member of our family immediately. We highly recommend Mr. Bullard, whether you want a hunting dog or a family pet.

---

We picked up our beautiful liver and white male puppy from Mr. Bullard on October 19th. He is the cutest and sweetest little thing. We had a long trip home, but Cooper never whined or anything. He was the best little puppy. We can't say enough nice things about Mr. Bullard. He is a very nice and informative man. We were amazed at how much he could tell us about each of his dogs. It is very obvious that Mr. Bullard cares for all of his dogs and they are very well taken care of. Anyone looking for a Brittany should look no further because Austin Creek Farms is the place to go.

I was searching for a brittany spaniel puppy and found Mr. Bullard (Austin Creek Farms), on this website. After speaking with Mr. Bullard two or three times I knew he was the breeder for me. He was very nice and helpful. He answered all my questions and assured me all of his dogs were good pets as well as bird dogs. I just had a "Good Feeling" about him and his puppies and I knew my instincts were right when I met him in person. I picked my puppy up on Saturday, Oct. 11, 2008 and Mr. Bullard and his wife welcomed us into their home, treated us like family, showed us all of their dogs and let us spend time with the male puppies in the litter to decide which one we wanted. The Bullard's are super nice people and you can tell they really love each and every one of their dogs. If you're looking for a brittany spaniel puppy, look no further, Mr. Bullard is your man. We'll return in the future for another puppy! Thanks Mr. Bullard!

I am from Auburn, AL and I bought a liver and white female from Mr. Bullard this weekend. She is 5 weeks and 2 days old! My boyfriend and I have been looking for a Brittany for almost a month now. We are so happy that we found Mr. Bullard because Cierra (our new puppy) is absolutely amazing! Of course we will have her trained to bird hunt but she will definitely be spoiled rotten (more than she is now). I have had many different types of dogs, but I am very satisfied with this one! I'm more than sure that we will be getting another one from Mr. Bullard within the next year! He is the best and the nicest man ever!!

---

I not only have purchased a dog from ed, I also have bred my female with his male. These dogs are all registered, and have proven to be excellent hunters. The puppy named ACE that I bought fron Ed is an excellent, well trained 13 month old. I was producing excellent results hunting with this puppy at 3 to 4 MONTHS old. He is an excellent retriever, and if the occaision arises, I will gladly do business with Ed in the future.

---

I live just outside of Atmore alabama and just got my second puppy from Mr. Ed. My first dog is 10 months old and has been point since she was 3 months. She is doing great now at holding and retrieving and follows every command. Now I have the best looking little Orange and White Male you have ever seen. He thinks he is one of the kids. I can't wait to start working with him. Mr. Ed is one of the nice men I have ever done business with and when he tells you hunting is born in his dogs, believe him. I am not a trainer, mine trained herself.

My wife and I have been looking for a puppy for our 2 boys for quite some time. We knew that we wanted a medium sized outside dog with high energy levels and a good disposition. We finally decided on the Brittany Spaniel breed and I then went about looking for a breeder. I found the gun dog breeder website and started looking through the testimonials. Austin Creek Farms and Ed Bullard stood out from the rest. I can say without a doubt that Sabrena and I choose the right breeder for our Brittany. The moment that I spoke with Ed I knew in my heart that this was the guy. Ed is very sincere about his passion for Brittanys, he knows the breed and will take the time before and after the sale to answer any and all questions. His operation is very clean and there is no doubt that the puppies are well taken care of. Ed will bend over backward to make sure that your experience is a positive one. Sabrena and I picked our Black and White Female up on Sunday morning the 21st of September 2008. My boys have both fallen in love with Brandy, especially my oldest as he will lay beside her bed waiting on her to wake up so that he can play with her. If you are considering a Brittany as a pet or a hunting companion, you will be selling yourself short if you do not consider Austin Creek Farms and Mr. Ed Bullard. I also challenge you to read the other testimonials for Ed as they speak to his character and sincerity. Ed is a true gentlemen of old during the time that a hand shake sealed a deal.

My kids had been asking for a puppy for quite some time. When my husband and I finally felt ready for a puppy, we knew we wanted a Brittany. I had grown up with my father owning several Brittanys. I just happen to find the gundogbreeders website. I called a few of the breeders and knew after talking to Ed that he was who I wanted to get our dog from. Everything you read in the other testimonials about him is true. He is a wonderful man. I can't say enough about our new puppy! She is the most beautiful Brittany I have ever seen, has a GREAT personality, and is already showing signs of great hunting ability. We are already talking about the next dog we're going to purchase from Austin Creek Farms.

In November of 2007 my wife and I lost a dear member of our family in our black lab, Tucker. By December I started researching on the breed that I wanted to replace him. I had always wanted a Brittany Spaniel because of good eperiences I've had with a friend who is an advid quail hunter. After much research and disappointment with other breeders, Ed Bullard, was recommended by a store in Starkville, MS called Gun Dog. Since I've nothing but respect for the owner, I immediately got on Mr. Bullard's websight via Gun Dog Breeders and began to read testimonials. If that wasn't enough after talking to Mr. Bullard for the first time, I knew exactly who my breeder would be. I have found Mr. Bullard to be a man of great entegrity who seems to make you feel like an old friend during the first conversation you have with him. In July of this year I received a call from Mr. Bullard that my puppy was ready and headed off to Alabama from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I arrived at the Bullard's house right at supper time and was very apologetic for the inconvenience. Mr. and Mrs. Bullard had other ideas, however, because my place was already set at the table. I have known few people with the ability to make you feel so at home with your first visit to their home. After dinner all my expectations were exceeded when I received a tour of his kennels and met his dogs. The puppy I took home that day, a black and white male, has been an instant member of our family ever since I returned home, has pointed everything in sight, and is already retreiving. Needless to say we are simply in love with our dog. My wife and I also just had our fist born in July and it warmed her heart to see our puppies tail wag when our daughter is in the room.
Mr. Bullard has already called to check on our girl and the pup. Every experience and conversation I've had with Mr. Bullard has been a pleasure. We have definetly found life time friends and a breeder in the Bullards.

I just wanted to let everyone know what a good and honest fellow Ed Bullard is and the quality of dogs he keeps and lets go to select "Brittany lovin" homes. I got a started male pup fron Ed in November 07 and a finished female a week or so later and I couldn't be happier with them. I have a litter from the two of them now and you can bank on what he say's about in their blood. Just today I took a picture of one of the litter pointing the wing and 2 of her litter mates backing her, at just 7 weeks old! When you see a puppy lock up on point at a wing and tremble with excitement at such a young age you know the breeding and instincts are all there.

---

I can just not say enough great things about Ed Bullard and Austin Creek Farms. When we started looking for a Brittany I found the Gundogbreeders website and read all the testimonies Ed had. I knew right then that Austin Creek Farms was the place to go. We have had Scootie for just a little over 3 weeks and she is 8 weeks old today and she is all we could have asked for. She is smart, energetic and one of the prettiest brittany pups I have ever seen. I just can not thank Ed and his wife enough. They are wonderful people and you will feel like family when you meet them. Ed let us come see the pups when they were about 2 weeks old. When I met Ed I was so glad we choose Austin Creek Farms. Ed has great dogs and he really takes pride in them and runs a great farm. If you are looking for a Brittany then I would definetly call Ed at Austin Creek Farms.

By pure luck we found Mr. Bullard and our new pup Hank after loosing our Brittany, Duke, to cancer. We have had Hank a little over a week and he has been an absolute joy. We can already tell his is going to be a wonderful dog and hunting companion (he is so smart!). We could not have found a nicer more loving family to get a Brittany from and we are very thankful that we were able to get Hank the Tank. We hope one day we can get another Brittany from Austin Creek Farms. Thank you!

Well, what else can we say!! The testimonials below truly say it all about Austin Creek Farms - not only the quality Brittany's but the world class Bullard family.
We will have our sweet Lola two weeks tomorrow and she has been a wonderful addition to the family. This experience has been great, from the moment we first spoke to Mr. Ed, we knew we had found the right breeder (we didnt realize we had also found a new friend)
Our Lola is energetic, eager to please, and a quick learner (and based on her bloodlines will be fantastic in the field). We wouldn't think twice about recommending Austin Creek Farms to anyone looking to add a Brittany to the family.

I bought my Kelleigh Belle from Mr. Bullard in May. He hand picked her from a litter and said I could make a trip down to see her at 3 weeks. She was just beautiful I wanted take her home then. I picked up a few weeks later. She is my second Brittany. I am enjoying her very much. Mr. Bullard was a joy to work with and very professional. Ive got a great pup and she is growing like a weed. Thanks Mr Bullard!

---

About 4 years ago I was ready to buy a dog that my entire family could enjoy and that would bring years of pleasure in the field. After a good deal of research I settled on a Brittany. I contacted Ed Bullard and that was one of the best phone calls I have ever made. Three days later we picked up Ripp, a ten week old male liver and white Brittany. Mr. Ed intended to keep Ripp for his own, but for some reason agreed to part with him. Ripp is perfectly content to lounge on the kitchen floor, but when he hits the field he is all business. To say he trained himself is an understatement. He knew what to do and all I had to do was keep from messing him up. Needless to say, Mr. Ed and Austin Creek Farms are first class in my book. I can only imagine the type of dog he is producing today after four years of continued breeding.

Quail Season had just ended in Oklahoma and my youngest son was really working me to buy a bird dog. After doing some research I felt a Brittany would be the perfect new hunting dog for our family. I then got lucky enough to find Austin Creek Farms- Alabama Brittany Spaniel Breeders on the Gun Dog Breeders website. Austin Creeks Nothin’ but Brittanys! caught my eye. I scrolled down the page and began reading the testimonials and thought I had just found the breeder of our first Brittany bird dog. I contacted Mr. Bullard the next day and explained what I was looking for. He informed me that all he had available was a 6 month old black and white female that came from 2 of his best dogs. The passion that Mr. Bullard has for his dogs and hunting were the deal clincher for me. I could not pick my pup for a month but was extremely impressed when I did. When I arrived Mr. Bullard and his wife invited me in for lunch and treated me as though I was an old friend. I also got to meet Jeremy & Anissa Crow who had also purchased a pup from the Bullard’s and have a testimonial posted on this site. We named our pup Piper, and she is one bird crazy dog. We have spent quite a bit of time playing in the field and are now starting to do some yard work, which she is picking up very quickly. My wife thought I was crazy to drive from Oklahoma to Alabama to buy a dog but I couldn’t be happier. I told her I wanted to buy another one and said only after we have a bigger yard. We are still in negotiations. I would highly recommend a Brittany from Austin Creek Farms.
Thanks,

I purchased a black and white female from Mr. Ed in Feburary, Dixie was born on January 12, 2008. I have worked her with a wing and tennis ball for since I got her, and my 3 kids have fell in love with her and treat her like the 4 kid. She is not scare of anything. I put out 3 quail this moring in pretty good cover and released her to hunt. The first bird she pointed for a second and then jumped in on him sending him flying and she was off after him. I called and she came back, as we moved forward she pointed the second bird and held for over a minutes before my son kicked the quail up and she chased it. The 3rd bird picked up from a good distance and worked her way in until her nose was inches from the bird. She couldn't take it and jumped the bird. That bird cound't get over a couple of feet off the ground and go a few feet, so we had a good 5 minutes of fun watching her chase and jump at the bird until she finally caught the bird and gave it to my son. It was amazing to watch a puppy this young to work so well. It was clear she was born to hunt birds, she went crazy on these birds. I can't wait to continue to work with her and get the male that I have a deposit on with Mr. Ed. We are all so pleased with our little Miss. Dixie and how she has fit into our family. This is my first time training a bird dog, but she is making it easy for me.

---

Ed and his wife are wonderful to work with. Ozzie, our stunning liver and white male, came home to us in Feb 2008. He's smart, strong, handsome and all puppy! Ed spent alot of time advising us on Brittany's and sharing his passion of these great dogs. I would recommend Ed to anyone looking for a Brittany pup. Thanks Ed!

I bought a puppy from Mr. Bullard a year ago sight unseen, just on his word. We call him "Blaze" Put him with a trainer 4 weeks ago. The trainer keeps trying to buy him from me, says he is the bird findingest dog he has ever seen. Went to watch him work last saturday A fellow from Virginia was there with one of those fancy, high dollar english pointers. My trainer put out 6 birds and old Blaze found 5 of them before the pointer started hunting good. The dude from Virginia ask my trainer would he please hold Blaze to see if his dog could find the last bird. I have never been so happy with a dog. Alex Mclennan Ventosa plantation

I got a black and white brittany pup from Ed a couple of weeks ago. She is all puppy... cute and full of energy! It was very nice to do business with Ed.

---

I spent several wonderful hours on Saturday with Mr. Bullard to get a feel for the person and place where my next hunting dog will come from. I was happy to find a man who loves is dogs and his vocation. Mr. Bullard has the most beautiful Britts that I have ever seen and I have already begun to prepare myself for next hunting season. I know I will love my "wee Las" (it's St. Patrick's Day) and I can see from the adult dogs that they will be great hunters and outstanding pets. If you are looking for the best Brittany mony can buy I believe you have come to the right place.

---

I have just returned from Austin Creek Farms to see for myself the way Mr. Bullard raised his dogs and just paid my deposit for a puppy from the next litter. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the kennels and the obvious love that he has for his dogs. Don't walk in to Mr. Bullard's thinking your just going to buy a dog. No sir you better show him that you will be willing to love and train this new member of your family or you probably won't get in line for a puppy. He can tell you where his dogs are, how good they hunt and he would be happy to have everyone of them back. I got the impression that he hates to let them go, even to a loving home. i am really looking forward next hunting season.

I got my puppy from Ed thid Feburary 2008. He is a black and white brittany he is so smart. Knows his name and is doing small retriveing and made his first point on a bird wing today,a little over 8 weeks old.He also stays in the house right now and not to many accedents. I love Gus.Hope to get a female from another litter later. Thanks Ed.

---

We drove up form south alabama and got our first little Brittany from Mr. Ed last weekend. Dixie is a great little black and white female. She is great with our 3 small kids, they are all in love with her. We where so impressed when we saw Mr. Ed's dogs that we put down a deposit on a Orange Male pup when he has anouther litter. Dixie is the best little dog, she has great attitude but comes to her name. She has already pointed several things in the yard. I can't wait to see her start working birds. The experience of meeting Mr & Mrs Bullard was well worth the trip, it is clear how much they love thier dogs and will go out of their way to help you make the right choice and explain how train your dog. I am so glad I found his site and purchased my first of many dogs from him.

---

My husband and I have just bought our 2nd brittany from Ed. Nelli our first (and my husband's second love) is a champion bird dog. However, my pride and joy is Lady Belle at 5 months old she is only 12 lbs. She's so tiny, with a little pink nose and the most beautiful green eyes. But dont let her size fool you, she can point a bird like clockwork. I cant thank you enough for Lady. Ed, you will always hold a special place in my heart. Lady Bell is my snuggle at night, my kisses when i wake up, and my little hunter on the weekends. What more can a girl ask for? :-)

---

We recently picked up our second Brittany from Ed. We are more than pleased with our little Mollie. She is beautiful, full of energy, and super smart. I can't wait to see how she turns out. If I had the room I would own ten more and every one would come only from Ed.

---

A very good friend of mine Ben had purchased a Brittany from Mr. Ed Bullard. I was invited to go on a hunt with them. Nelli, Ben's dog was doing very well and we had so much fun watching her work. I told Mr. Bullard that I would like to purchase a Brittany from him. The male I got from Ed was almost out of the box ready to go. We named him Tader and he is an inside dog and loves to hunt. Thank you Ed

---

I can't say enough good things about our new Brittany pup we got from Ed. He was 8 months old when we got him. My wife and 4 year old daughter love him. The only thing he does better than be a wonderful part of our family is hunt. At 8 months old, he is more than I ever expected. He holds point and retrieves to hand. I am by no means a trainer, so whatever he does in the field is all genetic. As soon as we get home from a hunt he's ready to lay down and have the whole family pet and love on him.

Mr. Bullard was very honest, easy to deal with, has great knowledge of his dogs and their pedigree, and otherwise just a great person to be around.

---

We are truly blessed to have met Ed and his wife, Donnie. They have helped us pick out a new addition to our family--a beautiful liver and white Brittany female. Hotty Toddy Andie is a sweet, smart, vivacious puppy who has won our hearts. We are thrilled to have her and look forward to spending time with the Bullard's bird hunting this spring. Thank you both for everything!

I bought a 2 year old Brittany, Hank, from Ed on December 8th 2007. I had owned the dog approx 2 hrs when he was accidently released in downtown Anniston Alabama. Not knowing me, and in strange surroundings the dog ran and I could not catch him. I called Mr Bullard who drove 70 miles and walked with me until we spotted Hank. After a couple of whistles and calls, Hank came running. Needless to say not many folks would be willing to go to this extent to help someone they barly knew. But, Ed Bullard is not like many folks. Not only do I have one of the finest little Brittanys I've ever been around,(he points, backs, and retrieves), but also a great new friend. If you don't want a fine little dog or if you don't want to deal with a class gentleman then you need to stay away from Ed Bullard and Austin Creek. Because from my experience that's all you will find there.

---

Right after my husband and I got married I decided to surpise him with a dog. I was very worried because I had never owned a dog. My husband always talked about wanting a brittany. I found Ed's number and gave him a call. After talking with Ed and hearing how much he loved his dogs I knew I made a great chioce. When I picked up Gracie, Ed and his Wife showed us all his other dogs. I coiuld see and hear the love he had for each dog. With that much love, I know it must be hard to see any pups go. He called us a few days later to see how surprised my husdand was. We love Gracie. She has a personality like nothing I have ever seen. My in-laws call her their granddaughter. We enjoyed her so much, when we moved a cross town we decided to get another brittnay from Ed. We can not wait!!

---

We bought two Brittany puppies from Mr. Bullard two years ago one was a male which has turned out to be a very good hunter. The other one was a female which we got for our daughter as a family pet; she has a wonderful disposition, intelligent a great addition to our family. We are very pleased with our dogs they are healthy and have made us very happy. If any one was looking for a Brittany I would tell them that Mr. Bullard is the only man to call, he is very helpful, knowledgeable about the dogs and most importantly HONEST.

---

My family and I bought one of Ed's puppies about a year ago. Due to some personal issues, we had a problem that included our precious puppy. Ed was the first one to jump in and help. What a great guy! This situation proved without a shadow of doubt what kind of man Ed is as well as how much he loves and cares for his dogs. If you are looking for a Brittany, there couldn't be any better place to get one than from Ed Bullard.

---

I bought a young started female dog from Mr. Bullard at the beginning of season this year and I have hunte this dog several times. I have been very pleased with the her performance. She will point, back, and retrieve. It was a pleasure doing buisness with Mr. Bullard and would recommend his dogs to anyone looking for a good brittany.

---

The Bullards are very good and honest people. I remember the first time I talked with them on the phone I instantly fell in love with them. They were willing to answer ALL my questions, and believe me there were alot. I was very impressed with how much Ed knew the blood line of his dogs, and the way he talked about each of them with love. At first I wanted a female, but when I got there to pick one out I fell in love with a copper male. We took him home and few days later he called to check on how the pup was doing. I am very honored to have found Ed and his wife. I recommened him to anyone who wants a great pup and breed!

---

Over the past few weeks, we have watched our beautiful little puppy grow to be a young strapping dog with enourmous potential. Mr. Bullard and his wife were very helpful in making our wildest dreams come true. We have always wanted an active yet obedient brittney spaniel; and there simply are not words which could truly do justice to the pure beauty of being out in the hunting fields with "Felix", and his capabilities in the field are second to none. I have owned brittney spaniels before; but I have never owned a puppy of this caliber. He is smart, obedient, and very easy to teach; and in only 3-4 weeks, he is now completley housebroken. He gets along very well with our other dog "Munchkin", who is a Pomeranian; and he is even very nice to our little kitty, "Sunshine".

---

We bought our first Brittany, Patches, from Ed over 30 years ago. At that time, Ed was working a "real" job and only had a few dogs. Patches quickly became a part of our family and remained so for the next 10 years. He was a wonder pet with our children and an excellent hunting partner for me. Ed and his wife, Donnie, have always taken great pride in the love and care they give all of their animals. They are truly very special folks.

I got in contact with Ed Bullard in October after hunting pheasants in Minnesota and deciding I wanted a BRITTANY. I finally got the whole family to go up to his place the Friday after Thanksgiving and pick up SCOUT. The liver and white boy is just beautiful and full of life. We also arranged to hunt together the next Tuesday. It was a blast to hunt with some of his best dogs (specifically CHIEF and DOC) as well as give SCOUT a chance to point several quail and even have a few shot over him at 4 months old !! These pups truly come into this world knowing wh at to do as Ed likes to say- it's true because I saw it two days ago. Thank you Ed for your time and effort. Folks.... this man and his wife care about their Brittanys and it shows!! Thanks again from Jon in Acworth, GA.

Purchasing a Brittany Spaniel from Austin Creek Farms has been an absolute pleasure. I received an quick response from Ed, the owner, who is clearly devoted to his dogs and a true gentleman. Ed took every opportunity to insure that our 16 week old pup would come to us in good health, spirit, and with proper socialization and early field exposure to give us the best chances for success. No question about it, our next dog comes from Austin Creek Farms. (By the way, Ed can spin a few good dog stories too if you've got a few minutes).

---

Ed and Donnie Bullard are at the top when it comes to raising Brittanys! They give love and care to each and every puppy as it they are going to keep them all. We got our Brittany from them and "Sugar" is absolutely beatiful and full of energy! Ed and Donnie are wonderful Christian folks! I wouldn't go anywhere else for a Brittany!

As co-owner of Mountian Shadows Farms Hunting Preserve, I have had the pleasure of having Ed Bullard and some of his Brittanys hunt with us on several occasions. From the first time out it was apparant that Ed was serouis about producing quality Brittanys for his hunting use.
Recently my wife and I visited Austin Creek Kennels for the first time and found the same care and professionalism as I had seen in the field. Bottom line, I was impressed with what I saw. My family and I have been raising, training and hunting over Brittanys for 45+ years, and I woudn't hesitate to add one of Austin Creeks puppies to our hunting family!

I am NOT a dog person, but I wanted to make my children's Christmas one that they will never forget. My husband talked me into taking a road trip to Mr. Bullard's home. Once we got there I fell in love with the precious puppies he has and the bigger dogs he introduced to us. Mr. and Mrs. Bullard were so nice and wanted to make sure we knew that their dogs came from a loving Christian family and they also took the time to get to know us so that they knew we would be a good family for thier puppies. I cannot wait to see the look on my kids face when we tell them they are getting puppies. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Bullard for helping my kids Christmas dreams come true.

If you get a chance to visit Austin creek farms you wont want to leave. The love that Ed Bullard shows for his dogs and bird hunting is just fun to be around.If you grew up bird hunting like I did you know its hard to find the old time bird dogs that live to point back retrieve and most of all please thier owner. But Ed bullard has took a bloodline dating years back has put the time love`and care into making the finest birdogs and friends you will ever see. He is one of the best friends i have ever had. If you visit austin creek farms you will have one of the best dogs and friendships you have ever had. I cant say enough about these wonderful people and their dogs. thanks Ed cant wait to go hunting again.

After searching extensively for a family pet to make our childrens' dreams come true, we wound up at Austin Creek Farms. Our brief phone conversation told me my wife and I had to meet this man! Ed and his lovely wife couldn't have been nicer, and their Brittanys are just gorgeous. After all was said and done, we ended up with not one, but TWO beautiful pups. Thanks again to these fine people and their love for these animals and people in general!

---

The anticipation of driving to Austin Creek Farms was only surpassed by the friendly and inviting nature of The Bullards. What wonderful folks! With great dogs to boot! My orange and white, Reb, is great with the kids and is already a great addition to our family. Look forward to seeing you all again soon and the covered bridge is great!

---

We purchased a dog from Ed Bullard that has turned out to be a great pet, as well as a great hunting companion for my husband. We are very pleased!

---

Anyone looking for absolutely great dogs and even better breeders should look no further. The Brittanys at Austin Creek Farms are amazing and I would never think to buy one from a different breeder. Mr. Eds years of experience coupled with champion bloodlines led to the little liver and white boy I took home last sunday. He is beautiful and already at 14 months is one of the smartests dogs I have ever owned. If your looking for a dog that will hunt go visit Mr. Ed in Hayden, AL, I promise it will be worth the ride even if just to look.

Sometimes in life we cross paths with someone who can both lighten our load and inspire us to become a better person. In my case, Mr Ed Bullard is one of those people. Having done the research, I have begun the wait for what I'm sure will be a wonderful addition to our family here in Georgia. Mr Bullards plesant demeanor and willfullness to freely give of his abundant knowledge is inviting from the start. I'm truly excited about the upcoming puppy and just as excited that God has made my path cross with such a wonderful man. Thanks for all of your guidance, Mr Bullard, and may God continue to bless you and your family!

My husband and I live @ Reelfoot Lake in Tiptonville, TN. We have been searching for a puppy for several months. We wanted a Brittany Spaniel, but was unable to find one in our area. I started searching the internet and found Austin Creek Farms which was only about 35 miles from my grandparents. After talking to Mr. Ed, I knew I wanted to drive to Alabama asap. He and is family were wonderful and our 3 month old orange and white puppy is precious and playful. We were very pleased with this kennel.

---

Mr ED and his wife at Austen Creek farms completed my search for a great Brittany. They have great dogs and you can tell right off the bat they take a lot of pride in what they do. Mr. Bullard personally knows the bloodline of every dog and puppy he owns, and he will tell you about all of them if you go to see him. My pup I got from them is wonderful and I would never have even thought about getting a dog from somewhere else. He is fifteen weeks old and looks as if he is going to be the best dog I have owned. If you want quality Brittanys look no further than Austen Creek Farms Hayden, AL.

---

Where do I start? Ed Bullard and Ms. Donnie had me smiling all the way back to Georgia. Not only did I get the prettiest lil' girl this side of the Mississippi but they were an absolute treat. Look no further if your lookin' for good people with good dogs. I look forward to crossing that covered bridge again! :) Thanks again, ya'll!

A family friend told us about Ed Bullard and Austin Creek farm - they knew we were looking for a family dog as well as a hunting companion for my husband. After talking with Ed we knew he was the breeder for us, he was very knowledgable and so friendly. We requested a Brittany female (liver and white) and boy did he deliver. Eight weeks later we picked up the new addition to our family. "Ally" is a very smart, interjetic and loving dog. At 3 months old she went on her first hunting trip (opening day of dove season) everyone on the field was shocked at how well she retrieved birds. Ally's natural instincts were beyond all expectations. We highly recommend Ed, his wonderful wife and their well bred Brittany's.

I am from Louisiana and found Molly at Austin Creek Farms/Mr. Ed Bullard. She went on her first hunt at 12 weeks with our other two Brittanys. We went to Clear Creek Quail Preserve in Lumberton, Ms. She backed the two older dogs,made 3 retrieves, hunted dead birds on her own and also pointed butterflies (but we will forgive her for that). Molly hunted for 3 hours and never gave up. Dealing with Mr. Ed was a pleasure. He was very hospitable on our visit to see the puppies and one can tell that his dogs are truly loved and cared for.

My wife and I, along with our six year old son were looking for a dog that could be a family pet but also one that could learn along with and teach my six year old about bird hunting. We decided on a Brittany and began looking for a reputable breeder. After seeing the ad in Covey Rise, I called and was introduced to Ed Bullard for the first time. He had a liiter of puppies right then but I explained that we were moving and were not quite ready but I would stay in touch. After doing a little homework, I learned that Mr. Bullard was a man of his word and could be trusted to always do the right thing. As time went on we visited several other Brittany breeders some of which felt more like a puppy manufacturing facility but always came back to Austin Creek Farms. In speaking to Ed one Sunday he explained a situation that landed him in an armful of puppies from his own line that were ready and in need of a good home. My family drove over to Alabama that night (we didn't get there until about 8pm) and was graciously met by Ed and his wife. Needless to say my son was "smitten" by a liver and white 9 week old female that he promtly named "Coco". We sat down at the kithchen table and did the paperwork and Coco became a part of the Strange family. Coco and the six year old are inseperable. She is healthy and happy and has already pointed a bird albeit a toy. Thanks Ed for making a little boys dream come true.

I have invited Ed to quail hunt on my farm several times. It is always fun watching his dogs work. His Brittanys are agressive,hunt hard and cover the fields very well. They stay close enough that we can keep up with them.

His dogs enjoy pointing and retreiving the bird we shoot. It is always enjoyable to hunt with Ed and his dogs.

We purchased a female Brittany from Ed Bullard after shopping around for just the right breeder. We visited several breeders but settled on Ed because of the quality of his puppies, his kennel and the breeder himself. It is obvious that Ed really cares about his dogs and the people who purchase his dogs. Our female puppy is a beautiful orange and white who won our hearts immediately. We intended to eventually breed her with our beloved liver and white Brittany we?d had for 9 years, but he became ill suddenly and we lost him. We were so impressed with Ed?s puppies that we got a liver and white male from his next litter, and we couldn?t be happier with him. These puppies are delightful family pets and are already displaying the quality of their bloodlines in pointing and retrieving. You will not find a better person to do business with than Ed Bullard, nor will you find any better dogs for your pet/hunting needs!

I began my search for a Brittany around the first of August. I almost gave up when a friend told me about gundogbreeder.com. Mr Ed Bullard was one of the first I called. He happened to have a litter ready in 2 weeks. I picked out a liver and white female and man what a dog. She was pointing a wing @7 1/2 weeks and pointing and holding on birds @ 10 1/2 weeks. Mr Ed is the nicest and easiest to talk to fellow you will ever meet. He loves his dogs so much that I think he really hates to sell any of them. If you want a family dog, field trial dog or anything in between Ed Bullard is the man to call.

My wife and I purchased a liver and white male (Sir Charles)from Austin Creek Farms in March of this year. We were looking for a friendly, loving and smart dog for family enjoyment. I tell you, "Charlie" has been a joy for the entire family. He's healthy, happy, smart and energetic. You can tell he is well bred, and comes from a fine line of dogs. Mr. and Mrs. Bullard run a great breeding program, and I highly recommend getting a Brittany from them. It's worth the trip to the farm just to see all of the good looking Brittany's and meet some very nice people. You can tell that they are in the Brittany business because of the love they have for them.

---

I'll second what good things everyone else has said. I've had the pleasure of helping train a few of Mr. Bullards dogs and can tell you first hand that you'll not find a pup that would be easier to train than one of Ed's. You can tell when the dog's come to you that they are well socialized and are eager to please. As for Ed, he seems well socialized and eager to please also, just kidding I don't think you'll meet a nicer person I haven't met his wife yet but I'm sure she's the same. By the way Ed, How's those 16 inch haybale's? Cya next weekend.

My family and I got an orange and white Brittany from Mr. Bullard in January 2007. My boys were so excited about Hero. Mr. Bullard and his wife were kind and welcoming. It was obvious that they take great care of their dogs. Hero is a very energetic and very smart dog. He is a great addition to our family.

---

I got a nine week old liver and white female from Austin Creek two days ago. I cannot say enough about Ed and his operation. He was an extremely nice man who is very knowledgeable about this breed. He answered every question I had with ease. After the first conversation with Ed I knew I had found the right breeder. My new puppy is amazing! After two days she is sitting and knows her name. She is almost housebroken and will retrieve anything I throw at her. In addition to being smart she is also very sweet and affectionate. If anyone is looking for a quality Brittany there is no reason to look any further than Austin Creek.

I was looking for a good bird dog and a good family pet when I read about the Brittany.I found out about Ed on the web. After speaking to him over the phone a few times I knew I wanted one of his pups. Ed did everything he could to give me information about how to begin training my dog,good books to read and even gave me prints to build a qauil house.As for Nelli she is a great dog who loves a feather and aims to please. Thanks to the Bullards at Austin Creek Farms my wife and I have a great new addition to our family and I have an awesome new hunting partner.

We got our puppy from Mr. Bullard when she was 6 weeks old. She is so energetic and has a lot of spirit. She keeps us moving and laughing. Next month she is going to start training. We're very happy with her.

I have 2 Brittany Spaniels that I got from Ed Bullard - Dan's Copper Hunter is a white and orange male, and a great field dog and friend. He has a winning personality and is very eager to hunt. I got Dan's Bonnie Brown Hunter from Ed last year, and she has so much energy and spunk! She loves to hunt, too. Copper and Bonnie have produce 9 of the finest-looking pups you've ever seen, and those pups are also showing great promise as field dogs. Ed has a first-rate kennel, and he and his wife are more than just dog breeders - they truly love each and every dog they have - and it shows!! I'll be going to get another pup from Austin Creek Farms again ASAP.

My son and I heard about Mr. Ed Bullard from a friend who saw his Austin Creek Farm ad in Covey Rise Magazine. We bought a 6 week old orange/white Brittany female puppy and have been extremely pleased. At 8 weks old, our puppy will point quail wings better than any other I've raised. Friends can not believe the pictures. Ed's puppies are beautiful, very birdy, and really do "come into this world knowing what to do". It has been a great pleasure getting to know Ed; he is a very knowledgable Brittany breeder who you can trust. We will definetly buy from Ed again.

I am a dog trainer in Kentucky and have been mainly a pointer man since the 5th grade. I recently got female from the one and only Mr. Ed Bullard. Macy is hard going intense tough little dog in the field but calm enough for my 5 yr old little girl to do some of the training. Macy has got a home till the day she dies. I am a brittany and pointer man now!!! Not only is Ed breeding some fine dogs he is one fine fellow who will bend over backwards to help you out. You meet Ed once and he will be a friend for life. The Bicknell Family says thanks for our Macy and thanks for the new friendship.

I found Ed Bullard on the gun dog website and called him immediately. He had exactely what I was looking for, a liver and white male Brittany. After Talking to Ed I realized with the enthusiasm and honesty he spoke with I had found the right breeder. I arrived at his home early on Saturday morning to pick up my puppy and he and his wife were giving all the dogs their shots. His place is impressive and he has by far the best looking Brittanys I've ever seen. I brought Buck home and have been very pleased. He is already pointing a wing and became attached to me immediately. Ed Bullard has a great operation and best of all GREAT Brittany bird Dogs. I'll definitely buy another from him!

I am fron New Bern, N.C. and I found Austin Creek Farms on your website. I checked the web for 9 mths. before I found these people. I drove to his farm to get two Brittany puppies. I brought them home one for me and one for a friend that hunts with me. The puppies were born Feb. 26. 2007. I could not pick them up until after mother day weekend. They had started to work the puppies and socilized them very well. The puppies are very birdie and want to retrieve for you like no other puppies that I have seen at that age. The puppies are all Ed. Bullard said they were and more. Ed. and his wife have a fine operation. I will be going back for another puppie as soon as I can get more room. These puppies are Champion quality and I would say if you are looking for a Brittany check out Austin Creek Farms.
