Hey Iowanian
Don't know about training for upland birds with a retreiver, Ive run pointers for years, most have just taken to it without much training. I'm now training my lab puppy on retreiving from the pond that's going very well, not much of a duck hunter but shes going to be a good one!
Far as the lab goes get you some quail or chukar and plant them. I would work on her holding the point if it was me, seems like most labs won't hold a point long. There more of a point and flush which is ok if your in gun range. I prefer pointers for that stuff as most of them will hold a point all afternoon if they have to, which is good cause there usually 200 yards in front of me...hehe. Good luck let us know how it turns out.
