they will not feed when water temps are below 62.
Ive been doing this for many years and know many dog folks.....
I am aware of a bout 8 duck dog gator encounters......during hunting season witnessed 2.
I am aware of about 20 labs damn near dying from boat props and nutria....
everything is a risk..... and feeding and biting should not be confused... a resting gator bumped by a dog.. will bite unless it is damned near frozen...
far more of our canine friends go down to cars, accidental poisonings than they do from reptiles....

That's why even if you are not hunting water where the dog has to swim, you really need to be aware of where your dog is on long marks where they might be chasing a cripple. We might be hunting shallow marsh were the dog never swims but cripples typically swim to banks to escape and those banks are very good spots for gators to sun. Even if lethargic, a dog that just stumbles up on a resting gator chasing a duck could get bit and although probably not fatal, could be career ending.

far more people die in car accidents than by handguns. doesn't mean you can be careless with a handgun.

A nutria will go after a big dog?
