We had Marley for a week after picking her up at 8 weeks. We were informed that my wife had a medical issue that required us to leave the state. I called Melissa and let her know what we were dealing with. Before we left we were told treatment was going to be from 4-6 weeks. That much time away wouldn’t have been fair to Marley so I decided that if Melissa had someone interested in her I would be ok with that.

Melissa and I talked a couple more times and we decided that she would keep Marley for a month then reevaluate our situation. It didn’t end up being serious and we finished the treatments back home in Gainesville. Knowing at that point that our situation would be pretty much back to normal I picked Marley up after 5 weeks.

Melissa went above and beyond to accommodate us during this time period. We are thankful and forever grateful for suggesting the delay because if we had lost Marley when we didn’t have to we’d have been destroyed. Because of Melissa’s generosity she’s been home for 2 weeks and things couldn’t be better. A couple days to remember where she was and it’s like she never missed a beat. We can’t recommend strongly enough that if you’re looking for a GSP puppy that you give Melissa a call. As far as Marley and our situation it’s the best call we ever made.

We could not be happier with our experience with Melissa and Briarcovey GSPs! As first-time German Shorthaired Pointer owners, we had a lot of questions and uncertainty, but Melissa was incredibly supportive every step of the way. Her love for her dogs shines through in everything she does, and it’s clear she takes amazing care of each and every one of them.

When we had to travel shortly after bringing our puppy home, Melissa even welcomed Remi back to board with her, knowing that Remi wasn't fully vaccinated yet and wasn't quite ready for a traditional boarding situation. That level of care and thoughtfulness gave us such peace of mind.

Remi is truly exceptional — smart, sweet, and already pointing at such a young age! She’s the perfect addition to our family, and we owe so much of that to Melissa’s dedication and expertise. We wholeheartedly recommend Briarcovey GSPs to anyone looking for a wonderful, well-cared-for puppy. Thank you, Melissa!

I now have 2 GSPs from BriarCovey, actual brothers just 4 years apart. I brought Booker home in April of 2021 to help my senior GSP Baxter. Baxter was such a great help to “raising” Booker. When Baxter passed in 2023, I felt Booker was too young to do the same so I waited until he was 4. I contacted Melissa and told her about my plans and she mentioned that Booker’s parents were planning on having a litter in Feb, same cycle as Booker. I picked Bulleit up in April and like Booker, is just a great tempered puppy and so smart. Melissa stayed in contact from the beginning. She has been a pleasure not only to work with, but also with to call and ask questions to. Thank you Melissa

We have gotten 2 GSP from Melissa. Our first one in November, and we loved him so much we wanted him to have a friend. So in March we got a second one. When picking up our second one, we were told she had a broken tooth. She did end up needing to have it taken out, and we kept Melissa updated on it. She right away paid us back for her procedure to have her broken tooth removed. We greatly appreciated this. Not only did she pay for it, she has continuously checked up on her. Both puppies are happy and doing great. The one we had in November has already graduated STAR puppy class and is beginning his training next week for good citizen/ therapy dog. They are wonderful with our kids, and eager to learn. We are very thankful for Melissa. Thank you!

We got Loretta from Mrs. Melissa about a week ago and I can say that she is one heck of a dog. And Melissa is a pleasure to work with. She has no trouble answering any questions and is always very quick to answer on top of that. She definitely made it a great experience and me and my fiancé are a proud owner of one of her GSP’s.

10 star rating, that says it all. From our initial conversation there was no doubt in our minds that she is the real deal. Her years of experience shine through in every aspect. Everything is perfectly provided to you, from the necessary information, progress pictures, AKC paper work, vet/health certificate, microchip, shots! You get a healthy, happy and energetic pup. Thank You Melissa and hope to see you again.

I would absolutely recommend Briar Covey for the adoption of your dream GSP. Their vast years of experience and knowledge with the breed shows in their instructions on how to get your puppy off to the best start. The vets that have seen my puppy for her follow up shots have praised her good breeding. I appreciated their transparency from birth to adoption by both answering any concerns directly and posting weekly pictures. My 4 month old has the best temperament and she is a welcome addition to our family. We love our Maggie!🥰

Our experience with Briarcovey GSP was amazing! From selecting our puppy to pick up, Melissa was a pleasure to work with. It was so special to check the website each week to watch our puppy grow. Melissa made us feel very comfortable with bringing home our first dog. She provided instructions and let us know that she will always be along for the journey with us. We couldn’t be any more in love with our Winnie!

Melissa is genuinely the sweetest person to work with! After weeding through all of the Facebook scams we finally found her on Google and within moments of speaking with her I knew we had found the right place. She explained everything in detail and answered questions I didn’t even know that I had. Her deposit was affordable, and the website was updated weekly with new photos so we had the ability to watch our new puppy grow! On the day of pickup, everything went smooth, Melissa provided us with all of the paperwork necessary to register our new GSP. He was already microchipped with a fresh bill of health. He smelled clean and was so accepting of us. We've had Floki for a little over a week now and Melissa has continued to make herself available for any of our questions. She has also checked in on him to inquire how he was doing. It is very clear this puppy has come from a strong stock. He is smart, loveable and full of positive energy! He already listens to basic commands and in his eyes you can see his desire to learn. We are so fortunate to have had the opportunity to connect with Melissa and have a first-rate experience with Briar Covey, and look forward to business again in the future.

We welcomed one of Briar Covey’s GSP puppies today, and are very happy with her.

The whole process with Melissa was incredible. She was great with communication for the whole process and education of German Short Haired Pointers. Very organized and we loved the progression pictures of our new family member.

I highly recommend Briar Covey if you are looking for a GSP puppy.
