Editorials

Baltimore Sun

What bird dogs do right is astonishing, and what they do wrong is often very funny, especially in Vance's words. He even describes how a bird dog's nose works. The book is not dedicated to Vance's four-legged hunting partners - that honor goes to the humans in his life - but the rest of the book is theirs, with unconditional affection.
— Candus Thompson

Grouse Point Almanac

Tails I Lose is a fun little read, and at its best when being witty. Although Vance is a Brittany man, the soul of the stories is far from breed specific. In fact, one of the most memorable chapters of the ("Old Friends") is about two-legged hunting companions.
