I'm Brett E., the breeder behind Covey Rise GSPs located in Little Egg Harbor Township, NJ. We’re a small GSP breeder in NJ focused on producing versatile, family-raised dogs from proven hunting lines. Our AKC, OFA-certified dogs excel in the field and at home. Pups are socialized early and matched carefully with active, hunting, or performance-minded homes.
Q. & A. with Brett
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding because my own dogs came from exceptional programs that emphasized health, ability, and temperament. That experience inspired me to take on the responsibility of continuing those standards—by preserving the German Shorthaired Pointer line and producing well-bred dogs with strong genetics and sound structure.
What makes your program special?
What makes my program special is how hands-on I am from planning the pairing to birth and throughout early development. I personally care for, handle, and socialize each puppy daily until they go to their new homes. This helps me raise confident, well-adjusted pups and thoughtfully match them with the right homes.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and white and liver roan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Covey Rise GSPs reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for German Shorthaired Pointers.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

Such an amazing experience working with Brett. From our very first conversation until the day we picked up Daisy, Brett was absolutely first class. Our vet even remarked that Daisy was probably the best-bred puppy she had seen in the last 15 years. Every little detail was carefully thought through, and it shows in Daisy. We are over the moon and can’t say enough great things about Brett!

Goose is settling in great. He is precious. Wahiawa our other GSP has taken to him and they walk the yard a few times a day, terrorizing the chickens and scarring away all the 8 and 12 point deer. Brett thank you for raising a great little boy. Sincerely, Frank

The amount of attention to detail and care Brett put into his dogs is incredible; he truly cares about the dogs and developing well rounded pups. He is extremely knowledgeable of the breed, and has been a fantastic resource through this whole process!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
