As somebody that has done a bit of both, trapping, and raising/hunting with dogs. The biggest problem I have encountered is people not taking care of their dogs.
The only situation I could see where you could loose a dog is hounds chasing a cat or something along those lines,
No excuse for a bird dog to ever be out so far that you don't have a real good idea where it is.
If you are out doing those things you know the risks you are taking and should be prepared. To blame the trapper is ignorant, they have just as much of a right to be there as anybody.
I have had dogs for pretty much all my life, Pets, hunters, show dogs. We have 2 excellent pets at the moment and the whole family loves them dearly, one sleeps with my teenage daughter every night the other with my 10 yr old son, at the end of the day they are dogs.......NOT CHILDREN, and will be treated as such. If one of them bites a kid, dirt nap for you. If my kid bites the neighbors kid........your grounded...
