I agree 100% that all people should respect other people's land. Here in Missouri the law reads that any hound hunter has the right to retrieve his or her dog on any property posted or not, although if you don't have permission to hunt you don't have the right to shoot the coon. With that said I have had friends that have lost hunting ground because of either them or them people with them disrespecting people's land.
Mo, I believe you still have to have the landowners permission, or you are trespassing. You DO have the right to retrieve your hound, but you need permission from the landowner to cross that fence. If they wont give permission, you should call the sheriff. Otherwise, all anyone would have to do is state they were just "getting my (their) hound". and go where they will. I'll admit up front Im not 100% positive on this.
