We bought a puppy from Melissa 2 years ago, she is smart snd beautiful, we had a death in the family and could not keep her, Melissa took her right back, asked for any information that would help in rehoming her with a new family and has kept us informed about her and her progress with her new family, this is a honest and reputable breeder, thank you Melissa

We recently brought home a gorgeous, loving, well-behaved two year old GSP. Melissa made sure that the rehoming was a perfect match for us and "Kisses". In addition, Melissa gave us all the background information to help make the adjustment as smoothe as possible. We are so impressed with Melissa and couldn't be more grateful to have this new addition to our family. If there is an opportunity to have Melissa help with a rescue we wholeheartedly recommend her.

Hi yall,


Our Weimaraner recently crossed the rainbow bridge and we were at a crossroads on our next dog. We like the pointer breed, so we had narrowed it down to a GSP. When choosing a dog, I like to do my research and Melissa and Briarcovey GSPs checked off all the boxes. From the start I wanted to know more about the pup(s), parents, additional photos from different sides and angles, and Melissa was extremely patient and accommodating.


The fact that Melissa was transparently on AKC's website reassured me that she was not only serious and legit, but more importantly cared about her dogs and their puppies. 7 weeks post purchase, I still send Melissa update pictures, and it is truly touching that she would care enough to keep that relationship and keep in touch.


I wholeheartedly believe that Melissa went above and beyond in making me feel comfortable with selecting the next addition to our family...and in that we welcome Kiko Makana Ka'alani ("Spotted Gift from the Heavens"). We are truly happy with our pup and going with Briarcovey GSPs.


Sincerely,


jc Campo

Melissa is an amazing person and caring breeder. We've had our puppy for 10 months now but due to medical reasons & surgeries we're unsure if we could keep him. We wanted to adopt him out to a home that could provide better to his needs. She graciously took him in, but after a few days he just wasn't adapting well and it was to much for us emotionally as well. We ended up implementing a ecollar for outside which has helped alot and he has responded amazingly. He's such a loving, energetic, cuddly, puppy who craves his routine. We're so glad to have him. I wouldn't hesitate to get another once ours is older, ss

he definitely needs a friend.

Browning came home healthy, happy, and so well-socialized. You can tell he was raised with love, care, and attention to detail. His temperament is amazing—smart, affectionate, and eager to please. Melissa’s dedication to the pups really shines through in every way.


Even after bringing Browning home, Melissa has been there to answer any questions and offer support. That kind of commitment means the world, especially when you’re adding a new member to your family.


If you’re looking for a responsible, trustworthy breeder who truly loves what she does, I highly recommend Melissa. She gave me not just a dog, but a loyal companion I’ll cherish forever.

We could not be more happier! Our Dixie girl is so smart and adapting so well to us. Our purpose for her is to be a family dog and a blood trailing dog and she is already excelling at both! She has the natural sense to hunt and find things already while still being the family dog. Could not be more happier! Melissa does an amazing job preparing these pups for their new homes. Our Dixie is crate training very well and adjusting to farm animals well! Thank you Melissa for all your knowledge, help and love you dedicate to your business and animals. 10 stars!

We got our baby cash back in march and he has been the best thing to happen to us! He’s almost 6 months now and so smart. Potty trained in the first few weeks we brought him home, catches onto everything super fast, and has always been so confident. I couldn’t recommend Melissa enough! The process was super easy and smooth and we looked forward to the weekly pictures while we waited the 8 weeks. He is perfect and the sweetest thing ever!

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!
