Is the gold rat the albino version of rats?
Actually no, I did a little research on the genetics of that color. It's a simple recessive like albino, but it reacts to the base color. If the base color is black, then they are a light cream almost white color. If the base color is agouti (the natural brownish gray color most rats are) then they come out this yellow color. The gene that causes these colors is known as "RED" among the domestic fancy rat people. Albino just takes out all the pigment and makes the rat pure white, regardless of the base color.
@@JosephCartertheMinkMan So it's a blonde rat. hehehehe
@@chuckysmaria6466 Bruh.
@@JosephCartertheMinkMan seems u did some good research.. Actually u are right About the recessive colour 👍🏻
little miss buttercup…. ulitimate killer dog🐶
It’s funny when you realize the people probably got hired to do this but from the dog’s perspective this is probably a game
Imagine being a dog but for a portion of each day you get to relive that primal instinct and be a wolf. A hunter. They must love it and it must be good for their soul.
@@jamesjamison3463 oh guaranteed, these dogs are having the time of their lives!
they love it these terrier breeds love killing small game
That's the beauty of it
To a dog its a hunt.
You have the Minks for tunnels, dogs for chase, next you need eagles to dive bomb the runners.
you saw the hawk circling right? he was there for some clean up action... pheasants probably looked tasty too
@@harrywoodman2988 OMG I WAS *RIGHT* AT THAT PART OF THE VIDEO WHEN I SAW THIS COMMENT OF YOURS
They’re gonna end up snatching the dogs and the minks
Epic tag team. Ground assault, aerial assault and underground
Imagine almost making it out then hearing hearing a whustle coming from the sky-
Buttercups gotta be the most deceiving name I’ve ever seen on a dog. That dog is stuck on genocide mode 😂
Straight demon timing. She makes sure the rat stays dead 💀
can we appreciate that this guy put a leash on a mink? absolutely gold
City boy :)
Buttercup is that guy on Call of Duty who's responsible for 95% of the entire team's killcount
I was that guy

Pretty sure this is stolen
@hyperflyer I mean they are bad
@hyperflyer they carry diseases sooo
@hyperflyer imagine caring about a filthy rat
@hyperflyer Don’t be naive. This isn’t your pet rat that you got from PetSmart, these are disgusting, disease spreading, property damaging rodents. I don’t know if it was in this video or another, but the rats were literally hunting birds as they landed. What emotion were they feeling then? No one here is enjoying rats being ‘tortured’, but we are impressed that the Mink Man is doing his community a service by eliminating these pests.
If you had 10 Buttercups, you could take over the world...
Its a weird sense of comfort to see dogs hunt prey like they would in the wild - even if they aren’t eating the rats. Love your channel!
I love how Buttercup is the shape of a sausage and a killing machine at the same time. I love that little dog.
Same here, she is the perfect dog.
She is great love She loves making sure it’s 100% dead before she drops it 😝
A Jack Russel Terrier breed. *SIZE* of a rat, *HEART* of a lion, *COURAGE* of an badger, will take on elephants!
The German "sausage dog" is called Dachshund in German, meaning "badger hound". That name is the original occupation of the dog.
and super cute
Rat: *EXISTS* Buttercup: "and I took offense to that"
"it became personal with me"
👏 👏 👏 😂
*"and i took that personally"
😭😭😭
rat: breaths Buttercup: trust me your not that guy, your not that guy.
These are literally the happiest dogs in the world. They were born to do this !
Watching the people interact with the dogs and the mink is so cool, it’s like they all have a mutual respect for each other’s abilities with everyone playing an important role
I love how the dogs don't even bark. They're just doing their job like silent assassins.
They said, the barking dog is the one that not bite.
@@kl9686 "a barking dog never bites"
Barking is wasting energy that could be used for biting. Barking is a rookie move.
Someone needs to keep the ranked plays busy
Dog barks on a bigger enemy to intermidate them since they dont know if they can take of them or no

Awesome. He's right about poison too. My dad raised minks in the 50's and farmers hired him to turn his mink loose on their farms. I also have seen giant rats by the hundreds that would travel underground and over fields from farm to farm. The size of the underground rat hole in the hog building was as big as a basketball. Freaky!
That golden rat is a very rare catch. It could be xanthochromistic, a rare morph in which the animal's fur, scutes, or feathers and skin will be any shade of yellow - golden included. Nice work on catching such a rarity!
Boon: I'm brave and always on the frontline Boss: I'm precise with my bites Leia: I dig with unwavering spirit Buttercup: I am become death, the destroyer of worlds

No kidding 🤣
Doom music plays when buttercup walks into the farm.
If I’m reincarnated as a rat, I pray to Buddha that I end up in boss’ mouth.
🌚🌚
Rats: Just chilling at the farm Buttercup: So you have chosen death.
lmao
🤣🤣
Rats at farm are dangerous for everyone
Buttercup is the most violent thug in the gang! I love how she violently shake those rats to their deaths..good girl!
@@luckysahu2900 yep, they are a pest that deserves no mercy, two mating rats can lead to a thousands within a few months if they have food, and if the food runs out they cannibalize their young first and each other after that...
Dogs are amazing. That little brown and white dog is a champ.
This is pure heaven to the dogs. So happy for them.
Almost 40 years ago my grandparents had a mouse infestation in their grain bin. I took their Aussie out and we worked that bin for days. No lie, we got more than a thousand rats. The Aussie was such a darling. After she'd get one she'd carry it to her pile. Kept things very neat. She was SO insanely fast. I did love that dog.
That's one valuable companion.
Bless I'm sure that dogs gonna be in a better place
She was amazing!
Hell... I thought you were talking about Australians.
@@chriskoort5717 Nah you use Australians to catch snakes and gators, not rats. They like bigger prey. Australian SHEPHERDS, however, are pretty good for smaller prey.
I love how the dogs know the difference between rats and minks like they don't go to kill it when it moves ... Even when they are all riled up

Your dogs are just as impressive as the mink. I had a female rescue dog that would let me know every time we had a mouse in our garage. I once saw her chasing something in the yard and she came running back with a 13 stripe gopher in her mouth. Sadly she developed health conditions that prevented me from actually training her to be a hunting dog. We lost her in February after 13 years.
Boss is so smooth. He's like a seasoned outfielder shagging easy grounders. He exudes a quiet, calm confidence.
over 1,000 rats killed at one farm and not one drop of chemicals needed. That is pretty darn cool
Talk about a budget saver
it’s pretty sick. they could easily do this in a harmless way but instead they put these animals through pain and suffering for absolutely no reason other than their own entertainment.
Aiden Griffith i think she is concerned about the rats, not the dogs. im not sure, hope she clarifies
@@annam6191 in that case the rats die within 2-5 seconds because the dogs make it as quick as possible
@@jessy7796 make the rat die of inner bleeding for hoyes is harmless? At least this is fast.
That little Buttercup is amazing. She is a perfect example what Terriers were originally meant for.
I had a jack russel, she wiped out the rabbits that were getting into the garden. Great rodent killers they are
I have a chualla terrier. She is more powerfull than a nuceler reactor. Do not let her sit on your chest while you lie down, if she hears anything, she will simulate a single stage rocket launch
@@temmie9430 this took me out, but with laughter, thankfully, and not your dog's legs
@@mutcut6289 my best friend had a Jack named Bosch... like the power drill... damn fine dogs
I love when you have buttercup in your videos. Her, gypsy,boss and bindi are great.
Buttercup is entering Chaos Mode
and killing mode lol
I'm afraid this pheasant farm is made of 80% rats. One of these times youre going to kill a structural rat and the whole farm will collapse.
My sides 🤣
hahahah structural rat, poor guy was just doing his bearing wall job and suddenly 3 dogs appeared
Oh my 😂
Structural rat😂😂😂
I think the technical term is "load bearing rat".
It's interesting to see how dogs that have ancestors that were bred to kill rats are still knocking it out of the park. Buttercup is doing her heritage proud.
You’re right - took my Yorkshire Terrier to work were they had a Rat problem - she’d never seen a Rat before but knew what to do instinctively
yeah, lot of dog owners don't realize that funny head shaking back and forth or playing tug is actually predator training, that is until there dog meets a mouse or rat
You do know that dogs were wild right? 😂
@@Mike36555 dogs today are no where near close to the wild ancestors
@@kedanClipse Wild dogs: Did you forget I'm a dog too and I used to tear buffalo and zebras apart.
When you were talking about poisoning the rats, it reminded me of the Disney/Pixar film Ratatouille. The scene when Remy stopped his father from eating poisoned food, and then he became the official food sniffer checking if the food was safe for the rest of his colony to eat.
It's so good to see doggos getting a proper workout and not just being confined to a lounge in front of the TV all day.
And fed vegetables
I don’t know what would shock Joe’s 12th grade teacher more. The fact he has managed to tame the American Mink, or the fact he has 1.2 million people watching him do it.

I like to think we all have a little mink man in us. Wait no that’s not right..
@@McAllisterCo It is right. Just go with it haha
@@McAllisterCo mink man knows a thing or two about flushing out tunnels
@@lindaandrews9245 Probably not the best phrasing. He is LDS. Probs would want to say “Primeval Nature”, or “Primeval Instincts”. Reason being that most christians believe spirits exist generally speaking. And a primeval one is not one they want to be a part of.
Rat: *(Breathes)* Buttercup: "Your soul is mine!"
Buttercup be responsible for many rats not coming home
Rat one: hey guess what I looked outside and bite a person then these dogs and a mink chased me. Rat two: No... No... YOU DOOMED US ALLLLLLLL. Rat three: daddy my leg got bit off by my bigger brother. Rat two and one: THATS NOT UR BROTHER HES A IMPOSTER!!! mink: Hahaha get farted on.

This was so neat. Awesome teamwork with the dogs. West Highland Terriers are great at this kinda thing.
Best life! Man and animal working together is beautiful.
Man, these dogs are livin' life to the fullest, It's nothing but endless fun for them, like this is in 100% lifestyle compatible withh their primal instinct
Dogs like squeaky toys because it reminds them of dying prey. I’m throughly convinced now.
No wonder my dogs like squeaky toys and to kill all of the rats they see, even hamsters LOL
Yup that's actually why. Lol
they want to hear their prey shout in pain
@@winterlstorm4794 LOL
That's the entire reason there are squeaky dog toys to begin with.
I can't stop watching, this is so fun...like a gameshow LOL
I LOVE watching that little mink get in there!! That little guy is amazing!!
That small white dog is a BEAST like damn man is thirsty for blood
Its on cocaine. Rat blood cocaine
Buttercup is a deadly killing machine
Those types of dogs were bred exactly for this purpose. That's why Terrier are so aggressive. Bred to hunt.
@@Bayseek Yeah, that's why I like these videos. While rats in general aren't bad, these rats are currently agricultural pests, and it gives the terrier the opportunity to do her job and get mental stimulation. She might be feisty, but that's cause she's living it up.
I had a Jack Russell Rat terrier mix. She was white with one brown ear. She did all the catching around my house. She'd kill rats mice frogs fish raccoons muskrat etc. She passed this year.. RIP BellaBlu
What is more satisfying than watching dogs, hard at work, doing the job that they know & love?
Hearing the crushing of the sculls
@@guidologo lmao
@@guidologo Nice
Good dogs 😍
Watching the mink.
I love hearing the good buoys from guys like this!
Without a doubt, THE BEST video i have ever seen on KZhead....and i mean EVER!!! Fricken Amazing!!!!!
The little dog ( i think it's buttercup, the white and tan one) escaped a life as a purse dog and living her best life possible. She's a savage.
Boss : hunter Mink : assassin Buttercup : I AM PLAYING DOOM!
Hahaha
If the Doom slayer had a pet dog instead of a pet rabbit, it would be named Buttercup.
You know it!
I can just imagine the rats going "Why can I hear BFG Division?"
😂🤣🤣🤣
For some reason, I just cant stop watching!
Buttercup is seriously a weapon. She was taking rat bites to the face and barely flinching.
That one made her mad. It was all work and pleasure till then. After that it it was personal. Before I could get her to release that rat she had killed it 10 times over.
@@chuckkimber2773 Damn dude, sounds like you got a four-legged dwarf berserker on rat duty!
Who does buttercup belong to? Is it joes new dog? Or does she belong to a friend?
@@youinspiremyinnerserialkiller She belongs to Chuck Kimber, the lad in the first reply slot.
@@chuckkimber2773 Do the dogs get many bite injuries? I know they're pretty resilient. Do you have to tend to her at all after a killing spree?
I like how Boss acts like an absolute chad giving the other dogs a chance to have their catch
That’s because he’s not acting he’s actually the giga chad of the club
the big boss chad
Boss: level 999 big mafia crime boss chad other dogs: level 998 pog mafia dogs
I mean probably as a sighthound his job is to quickly find and get the ones that get away. Sighthounds work on sight and go very fast so rats that are escaping are what they're very good at.
These dogs are having an amazing time!!! 😅 it's great how you can use them for this and it's also enjoyable for them!
I'm a recent subscriber but have seen many of your videos in the past. Have always been interested in what you do. I am a retired Marine and have trained dogs for various purposes. I think it is pretty awesome what you your dogs and minks do.

Came for the mink stayed for the rats i’m glad I found this channel. ❤
Trying to understand why people are disliking this video when the rats are pests, they're a problem to agriculture with diseases, and you're letting dogs bred to specifically hunt them down. Are y'all just that soft with nature?
Lmao they probably have rat as pets 😂😂
@@ashyy190 not a bad guess 😂
This is the most humane way to control rat populations. Its a quick clean death as opposed to poisons
im one of the people who kind of feels bad for the rats (i did not dislike the video) but the rats are pests so i understand why they must be killed. just kinda sucks that it has to happen.
@@ashyy190 There's a difference between a pet rat and pests rats
These dogs are so happy doing their job. It gives them a purpose👍
No wonder they like there job, they kill there pray
more rats then birds :D
Aye, 'tis what they were literally bred to do.
@@KFC_legs true
It's a lot of dogs instinct. They're having fun but also doing what dogs are ingrained to do.
Dogs are living their best lives. Doing the job they were bred for. Good dogs!
Buttercup is such a sweetie. Her lil trot when she gets a rat. These dogs are having a blast
Rat: *Breath* Buttercup: Peace was never an option!
Here's an interesting genetics fact. The recessive gene that causes rats and mice to have an orange/blonde coat is actually a 'fatal gene' when the rat inherits two copies of it, ie when they express the blonde coat colour. 'Fatal gene' is the term used for a gene/gene combination that causing death in an individual before they can reproduce. A quarter of all blonde rat pups are stillborn, and the rest tend to have far shorter lifespans than wild-type (brown). They are prone to obesity, cancer, and a number of other health issues. So the rat population at this farm is on average a less fit one, due to the high number of blonde rats.
Literally that was so interesting, thank you!!!
Legit genetics lesson, thanks!
And what would happen to those blonde rats if they had blue eyes? HUH? Then I think we'd have something really to worry about. Especially if it began playing flute.
@@RemyRAD Redwall reference?

You can't beat the hunting skills of a Jack Russell. I had two of them when I owned a farm, nothing lived, no snakes, mice, rats, ground hogs, porcupines, frogs, toads nothing. I have the vet bills to prove it. My dog always broke the blood vessels in his ears and by the time he was old, his ears where a mess. I got really good at taking out the porcupine quills myself as I couldn't afford to keep taking them to the vet.
as owner of a Jack Russel I confirm, with them you will not have to worry about annoying small animals in the garden
Okay. I'm just curious. Do we have to vaccinate dogs who kill rats for their protection? Or this is totally fine?
I have a rescue dog, one half rat terrier. Had no idea about them until I got her. Now I have NO rats or mice in my yard (and I didn't even get her for that!). Its wonderful and I love my tiny dog (8 pounds!) .
I love seeing dogs do what they’re supposed to, it’s really fascinating!
Australian government needs to hire you. They're having a rat plague right now.
There are so many rats in Australia that it would probably even scare the dogs.
You'd set a rat dog out in those videos they show of Australia and the poor dogs would be stripped to bones in seconds.
There must bee people doing joseph job on australia i assume, a small amount but still. I would love to see this method of rat-hunting done in a bigger scale for scenarios like Australia, that would be a sight to behold

Great video guys! 👍👍 I understand completely why this is done. I lived on a farm in New England and I've seen first hand how rats can decimate crops and other food supply. The owner of the farm had a rat terrier/Chihuahua mix. Lol!! She was a killer! 😝 She was fast and aggressive! She was a good dog. Anyway great video 👍
what an amazingly produced video. greatly entertaining and educational. well done 👍🏻
If I was this farmer I would have a small army of butter cups patrolling 24/7 and a shovel.

Amazing how these dogs are so well trained they don’t go after the mink or pheasants
Yes, that really fascinated me they're working a guild with each roles.
My terrier has killed 100s of rats and mice on command and is walking with chickens, goats, pidgeons and freerange rabbits i got as a business.. never touched Any other animal without command then mice...
Altough washushe (our favourite red mad-minx) almost eat boss in one point😂 Damn....i missed that little red demon.
I am DAMN proud of how you train your animals!
I noticed that the rats today were all big ones, the ones that have lived longest. The dogs and minks have done a fantastic job at this farm.
The amount of exercise these dogs are getting, while practicing their natural instincts is outstanding.
There is nothing natural about a dog buddy, don't get it twisted. The dog is a domestic animal that has been artificially created and cross bred through generations by humans to achieve certain looks and shapes. Their "natural" instincts only tell them to eat, mate and follow their owner. You have to train them to hunt, so it doesn't come naturally to them, unlike other domestic animals like cats. It's jaw dropping that i have to be explaining this to you buddy.
That opening scene of buttercup flying by like a missile was awesome its amazing how fast terriers are
She's a Rat Rocket man!
@@vaporean_boylove.0w083 Nah, she was a rat-seeking missle.

I havent watched in a while and now he got go pros on his dogs and a night vision objective. nice 👍
This is hilarious and amazing, Buttercup is my favorite, she's like a heat seeking missile for rats. It's so wonderful to see dogs doing what they do best, hunting. They are having a field day out there as a dog should, that's the kind of life every dog should have.
