A truly delightful and beautiful book about the wonders of the Labrador retriever at home & in the field. Color photos by Bill Eppridge; 8x9 inches, 80 pgs.
'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 thirty 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.
