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.

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!

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.

First I want to start off by thanking briar covey and Mellissa. Not only did they give us an amazingly sweet new addition to our family, they were so helpful in the process. Mellisa was so sweet and kind, answering all of my silly questions. We had our puppy, Biscuit fly to us. I am so grateful. It truly was amazing to work with them!

We just got a puppy from briar covey and hes been great! Melissa was super nice and always got back to me quick and answered any questions I had! Ive been looking for a gsp for a while now and couldn’t find anyone that was as helpful and good as her. Im so glad i found her, she told me about the puppy and told us we could come see him before we decide to get him and when we met she was super friendly and told us all about the puppy and stuff we needed to know and was super helpful and answered any questions we had! If i get another gsp i would definitely come back to her, shes great and her puppies are beautiful and healthy!

🐾 Our GSP Family: Full of Love and Energy!


We couldn't be happier with our two German Shorthaired Pointers, Remi and Reba!

We absolutely love their high energy; they keep our lives exciting and full of adventure every single day.

It's incredible how lovable they are, each with a beautifully unique personality—one might be the goofy snuggle-bug, and the other a focused explorer—yet they share the same deep, loyal GSP heart. They are so different, and yet so wonderfully similar!

We also want to give a massive shout-out to Melissa. We deeply appreciate everything she has done and continues to do. Having her guidance and availability for any questions we may have, big or small, has made our experience as GSP owners truly exceptional.

In fact, we love our current two so much that we are growing our pack! We are over the moon to be welcoming our third GSP, Reign, on December 14th! We absolutely cannot wait to meet her and shower her with all the love she deserves!
