Melissa is everything you could wish for in a breeder - caring, transparent, passionate and trustworthy. She provided so much detail and information throughout the process starting with which puppy will likely be a great fit, to pick up day and even what we can expect as they integrate into their new home and grow. We are so in love with our baby girl who we picked up from Melissa back in Nov. We can’t thank her enough for her incredible dogs and our sweet puppy!
Melissa was very easy to work with and was extremely helpful in selecting the right puppy. Never felt pressured to make a decision. Had my puppy delivered from Florida to California via Airline cargo flight and arrived healthy without any issues. You can notice the experience Mellisa has once you receive your puppy. Mine has no interest in biting me as a puppy going through teething phase. Has a very high drive as a puppy and can tell will make a great companion/hunter. Was a pleasure to work with and I will return in the near future to add another.
We got our GSP puppy from Melissa last year, and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. Melissa was amazing to work with. She was
thoughtful and helpful in matching us with the perfect puppy for our family. Mae has grown into such a great dog! She loves boat rides, Jeep rides around the neighborhood, and pointing lizards in our yard. We couldn’t be happier and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a GSP puppy.
I had an awesome experience with briarcovey and breeder Melissa! Very informative and clearly cares so much for her GSP’s. Weekly updates and photos on my pup, above & beyond my expectations!
Goose my 8 week old puppy is healthy, active, and loving! The day I decide to get another GSP I’m definitely contacting BriarCoveyGSP. I can’t them recommend enough!!
We can’t say enough good things about Briarcovey and breeder Melissa. From the start, Melissa was knowledgeable, honest, and clearly dedicated to her dogs.
Our puppy, Berkley, is healthy, confident, and has grown into an exceptional family dog with a wonderful temperament.
This past year, we decided to breed Berkley, and Melissa was incredibly available throughout the entire process, going above and beyond with her guidance and support.
If you’re looking for a GSP breeder who genuinely cares about her dogs and supports program
I highly recommend Briarcovey. Melissa’s passion and professionalism truly set her apart.
We had such an incredible first experience from purchasing our
black roan gsp for my son , with that being said.. coming back to Briarcovey GSP for our second German Shorthaired Pointer was an easy choice—and once again, it exceeded every expectation. Her love for these dogs is beyond what you see in most breeders. It’s genuine, consistent, and shows in the way she rais
es each puppy with intention, care, and lifelong commitment. Her communication is truly top tier. From the first conversation to bringing our puppy home, she was responsive, transparent, and always willing to share her deep knowledge of the breed. Her understanding of temperament, structure, and proper development gives you complete confidence that you’re getting a well-bred, well-started puppy. Our new boy has transitioned beautifully. He’s already going to the door to potty after just 1 week which is unheard of for most breeds with only a couple accidents, he has no accidents in his crate when we have ventured to the grocery store or a quick errand, listens so well, and has blended right into our home. He plays wonderfully with his furry-friend sister and has such a confident, sweet temperament. You can tell he was given an incredible foundation before he ever came home with us.Having now had two positive experiences, we can say without hesitation that she sets the standard for what a passionate, ethical, and knowledgeable GSP breeder should be. We’re so grateful for her and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional German Shorthaired Pointer ! We will definitely be back soon for our third :)
We brought home our 8-week-old German Shorthaired Pointer, Phoenix, just a week ago, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From day one, she adjusted seamlessly to our home and quickly bonded with her fur siblings. She’s already well on her way with potty training—having only two small accidents so far—and she even knows two commands! That truly speaks volumes about the time, effort, and dedication put into raising these puppies.
It’s clear that Melissa is an attentive and involved breeder who genuinely cares about her dogs. She raises well-mannered, well-socialized German Shorthaired Pointers and prepares them beautifully before they head off to their forever homes. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful start she gave Phoenix. We’ve already recommended her to others and will continue to highly recommend her to anyone looking for a GSP!
We had such a wonderful experience getting our GSP puppy from Melissa. She was incredibly responsive, kind, and so knowledgeable throughout the entire process, which made us feel confident every step of the way.
Our puppy has been an amazing addition to our family so far
and has done great with our kids and our other dog. She already has such a sweet temperament and tons of potential—we can’t wait to get her trained and out in the field hunting!
If you’re looking for a German Shorthaired Pointer, we can’t recommend contacting Melissa enough.
We can’t say enough good things about Melissa and Briar Covey GSP ~ we wanted a companion for our 14 month old gsp and searched AKC marketplace… We found our Emma at Briar Covey, I reached out to Melissa and she got back to me very quickly. We put a deposit on Emma when she was 5 weeks old. We spent the next 3 weeks preparing, Melissa posts pictures of her puppies each week so we were able to see her growing. Melissa is in Florida and we are in Georgia so we used Citizen Shipper to deliver, Jayne Benne (Nytengale delivery) was terrific! Emma arrived today, she is bright, energetic, fearless, and loving. She was not afraid of her new wild big brother and did not hesitate eating a big bowl of food before her first crate nap. Melissa sets her pups up for success, it is apparent that Emma has been well socialized, she is very well adjusted. We are so grateful to Melissa for all of the wonderful information and for this precious addition to our family ~ it was an outstanding experience!
These were taken 10 minutes after we got her home, she is a very confident and well adjusted little pup 🩷
We had an amazing experience with Melissa at Briarcovey GSPs. From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful and supportive, providing extensive, detailed emails with clear instructions and thoughtfully explaining everything we would need to give our puppy the best possible home. Her knowledge and guidance made us feel confident and well prepared.
Our puppy, Boone, is almost three months old and has been an absolute joy. He was easy to crate train and house train, is very social with both people and other dogs, and has the perfect balance of being cuddly while still playful and energetic when he wants to be. He also took quickly to eating well and drinking water without any issues. It’s clear that he was raised with great care and attention. I’ll be adding pictures because they truly show how wonderful he is.
We are so grateful to Melissa and highly recommend Briarcovey GSPs to anyone looking for a well-bred, well-adjusted puppy.
