We had such an amazing experience with Melissa at Briar Covey and truly couldn’t recommend her enough! From the very beginning, Melissa was incredibly responsive and always quick to answer any questions we had. One of our favorite parts of the entire experience was getting regular photo updates of Stark (Male #1 from Gigi and Fritz’s litter)
as he grew — it made us feel like we got to be a part of those first few weeks even before we were able to bring him home. 🤎
It’s so obvious how much love and care Melissa puts into her puppies. Stark has only been home with us for a short time, but we are already completely obsessed with him. He is the sweetest, clingiest little boy and everything we hoped for in our GSP.
We are so grateful to Melissa for trusting us with Stark and for making the entire experience of bringing him into our family so special. We would absolutely recommend Briar Covey to anyone looking for a GSP, and if we ever decide Stark needs another pointer sibling, we know exactly where we’ll be going! 🐾🤎
Melissa was truly incredible to purchase our puppy from. It’s been a dream of mine for years to own a GSP. When my fiancé and I finally felt the time was right, we stumbled upon Briar Covey through online recommendations from other GSP owners.
I emailed Melissa and we set up a call shortly after. With 0 financial commitment, Melissa spent time out of her day to talk to me about what the process of buying a puppy is like, what I should be looking for in a breeder, what I should be ready for as a dog owner, and what to expect owning this specific breed. You could just tell that she cares. She didn’t care if purchased from her. She wanted to make sure I was making the right purchase for my family and could provide this dog with the life it deserves. From that point, I knew she was who I was going to buy a puppy from.
A few months later we were able to select Goby, from Frieda/Bear’s litter (born 04/2026). We picked him up at 8 weeks and he was just the perfect little puppy. He’s now over 4 months old and just a happiest little ball of energy. He’s loves walks, stuffed animals, and wrestling with his ferocious cat sister Chili.
If you’re looking into adding a GSP to your family, I highly recommend Briary Covey.
Getting my puppy from Briarcovey was such an easy and enjoyable experience from start to finish. As a first-time dog owner, I had a lot of questions, and Melissa was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about her dogs and wants each puppy to go to the right home.
My puppy came from Frieda and Bear's litter, and she arrived healthy, happy, and absolutely perfect. She has the sweetest personality and has brought so much joy into my life. I couldn't be happier with my experience, and I'm so grateful I chose Briarcovey. If you're looking for a GSP, I highly recommend!!
Mellissa is a wounderful person and goes the extra mile with her dogs. We absolutely love our 2 gsp litter mates and am so happy with the choice to use Briarcoveygsp. I recommend anyone wanting a quality gsp to go see her and her dogs.
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 :)
