It's the playfulness of the Labrador retriever—perhaps even more than its eagerness to please and learn—that made Robert F. Jones an owner and enthusiast of the breed for nearly forty years. While most upland bird hunters prefer a surefire pointing breed, Jones delights in the existential rhythm of working in the fields with a good flushing dog. Upland Passage features Luke, a black Lab who's nearing retirement age. He's been an invaluable companion in both the field and at home. But Jones realizes it's time to train a replacement. That's when he decides to get Jake, a wriggling yellow Lab puppy. The training of Jake by Jones and Luke and the pup's coming of age is the subject in photos and prose of this charming, irresistible book.
It's the playfulness of the Labrador retriever--perhaps even more than its eagerness to please and learn--that has made Robert Jones an owner and enthusiast of the breed for nearly 30 years. Upland Passage is a wonderful weave of history and personal philosophy, tracing the roots of the Labrador and examining the relationship between man and dog. 51 full-color photos.

reviewed Upland Passage: A Field Dog's Education on June 08, 2021 Upland Passage
The brief description of this book uses the term 'delightful.' The word is very appropriate. Most books are good because of the arc of the characters growth, and dogs have a shorter tmeframe from puppy to adulthood, and in the case of working dogs, from puppy to be well trained to do the job. This book covered it very well, replacing an older hunting dog with a new one. You get the joy of doing something with a dog, and it made me want to take up bird hunting.
This book is probably not one too well known, there is SO MANY books on dogs, but would recommend it for all, and especially any bird hunters out there.
