one can only imagine the warcrimes that mink is unleashing underground
Was thinking the same thing, because to see all these rats resurfaced well it's clear that it is clear a massacre is going on in this rat Kingdom.
😂
It's like Kill Bill down there
Like the battle of the Somme, fighting to the death in all that mud
Ain't a warcrime the first time
The hatred that mink has for live rats is hilarious, especially when he checks the bucket to make sure none are "playing" dead 🤣
Right 😂😂
Lmaoo 😂😂
Wich dogs breeds they train for this? They are very efficient.

Can't blame him
I was very impressed. As a kid, we used to chase jackrabbits with greyhounds. It's almost like being a kid again. Now 78 years old. Thanks, guys.
You a OG 💪
You're welcome billy
What did you do with the greyhounds after the rabbit hunt? Are you from Spain?
Why? I get what they're doing here, but why rabbits? Were they eating all of your vegetables? Lol
@@dextermorgan1bunnys are literally the equivalent of satan when found in your garden. They once ate all my mom’s precious growing carrots, she was hot happy.
Minks might be pound for pound the most badass mammal on the planet. Amazingly tough for how tiny they are.
Check out stoats. Sometime
If you like that look up a stoat hunting a rabbit. Minks are badass but a stoat is straight up broken.
@@clintmcbride7830 What the actual f...
@@JJFX- just look it up. Stoats can bring down rabbits 8x their size.
@@clintmcbride7830 I did, I think you misunderstood my reply. That thing is terrifying.
I'm still amazed that the dogs don't accidentally go for the mink. Well done on training all of them to work together.
i think they´ve all tried once at least but a minsk is waaaaay harder to fight even for a dog. it wouldnt flee but instead fight the dogs badly.
@@ThomasBach-kq1of yep, I've heard getting bit by a mink is like running your hands into a sewing machine with 40 needles
And for sure mink smells different, so no confusing !
Maybe they grew up together. I'd like to hear the owners explanation on that
Dogs have that incredible nose. He know he partner scent.
Can we also appreciate how the dogs were able to distinguish the difference between the minks and the rats😂
I wonder tho if the dogs are the ones that should watch out for the minks or the other way around.
@@nzeusman8215 the dogs need to watch out for the minks since they bite the. They 100% distinguish the difference with smell i think
The art of smell
Actually dog can do that easy because of the smell ...the real thing here is that they work as a team with the mink...in the wild that is impossible...
They have GOOD NOSES 😮
I can especially appreciate the camera lady's close-ups on Sherlock so that we can hear bones crunching😂👍👍AWESOME STUFF!!! 👏
Joseph Carter, possibly the best ratter in the Universe. All his animals are brilliantly trained and superb at their jobs, but his self reared mink are worthy of separate mention. Not only are they all superb hunters, but they've all bred to type and have beautiful colouration being a mixture of chocolate brown and black.. Hats off to Joe for helping to control the rat population, which he does brilliantly.😄😄👍👍
Thanks for all of your kind words.😊
You're very welcome Joe, they're all well deserved.@@JosephCartertheMinkMan
Ah, mink! I always heard that they were mean little critters, and now I see how vicious they can be. Hunting is how they survive in the wild and it is great that you have figured out how to give them a job and have them do something else besides die for the fur trade. Don’t they have natural scent glands that make them pretty stinky? That would help the dogs differentiate between a mink and a rat, for sure! Do the minks and dogs interact back at home? How about the dogs? Are your dogs able to be good, loving pets? I am thinking that they are. We had farm dogs as kids who would do this very same kind of hunting for mice in the plowed farm fields in fall and spring. We let them eat their prey, since they were doing it for fun. Ours were outside dogs, though, and not cuddly pets. My mom did not allow dogs in the house. This was almost 60 years ago, in farm country in Michigan.
@@JosephCartertheMinkManbindy is very skilled already for a pup. (she?) Will go far and do great things in her craft.
@@JosephCartertheMinkManabsolutely stunning ❤😊
“Dogs are animals not machines” I love the respect and care he shows for his animals. Truly a professional
He opens them up to disease and the almost definitely get several bites on their noses (one of the most sensitive areas for dogs)/ He forces his minks down rat holes and then floods the rat holes when the minks are still inside, justifying it by saying "Minks are semi-aquatic creatures, so therefore they have no issues being in flooded claustraphobic tunneling systems because flooded claustraphobic tunneling systems are exactly like lakes and ponds where there is open area and minks always know how far they are from oxygen". hE sHOwS cARe And rEsPECt To tHE anIMaLs!!!!
@@Hello-ig1px animals quite literally are always at risks of diseases of you let them outside. The dogs he’s using are specifically bred to do the activities they are doing and yes as semi aquatic animals they are pretty good at going into tunnels flooded or not. As he states in the video minks hunt rats in the wild constantly, is it any surprise that they may go inside the burrows from time to time? Also he posts these videos constantly and has a multitude of videos up. If what he was doing was really putting these animals at risk than the outreach they get would have him shut down rather quick. If you’ve never grown up around hunting dogs of any capacity it’s ok just to say that because you clearly show a lack of knowledge in this field
@@modus3493 Wow, what an epic argument! So those workers that mine lithium and expose themselves to toxic fumes, who cares, humans are always at risk for dangerous contact! You live by a nuclear power plant and it just had a massive leak? Who cares, humans are always risk for dangerous contact! Such big brain, smooth brain logic! I wish i was smart like you!
@@Hello-ig1px You do realize dogs are natural born predators correct? besides the fact dogs are always prone to disease. yeah that walk you took with your dog last tuesday could have gotten him killed
@@justZakiel I agree with everything you said, you are totally correct. But now, can you please engage with the following question in good faith? Tigers and Lions are natural born predators too, i am sure you would agree. Is it ethically okay for me to put a lion and a tiger inside a cage and make them fight each other? Please remember, tigers and lions are literally natural born predators, even more so then dogs because dogs aren't exactly natural.
I just love how the Minks are just one of the boys to the dogs
The dogs know the mink ia no punk & ready to ride.
I raised Miniature Pinschers at one time. I had about three females running in the yard following me out to a storage building where I kept yard supplies along with bird seed and chicken feed. We had a problem with mice until my mini pins took on that crisis. It was amazing to watch them work together to get the mice and see how they truly enjoyed the hunt. One would flush and the others would grab. Their speed and agility was unreal. The catch consisted of a quick bite and shake and an immediate release, only to grab the next, never missing a beat. I guess the shake broke the neck . It was like watching a well oiled machine, they loved it. No training, they never tired of this, it was like they were made for it.
Min pins were specifically bred for that so i’d say your right! They were made for it. My first dog was a min pin and she caught the occasional mouse, one time i watched her swallow one whole.
7:31 So what you're saying is that you've made a watery hellscape down there. Unleashed F3, unsupervised, no body cam, blasting Doom through his airpods. Like, its ONE mink, going down into the rat trenches, no map. And he is not the one flying out of there like he's on fire. Hats off to F3
Just want to say: I'm a lawyer working in Tokyo. Seeing dogs and minks hunting rats is so utterly different from my existence, but utterly absorbing content!

The person holding that camera deserves appreciation
Agreed!
Just wanna say I appreciate that you rescue these animals from fur farms. Thanks for every one of these beautiful animals you've saved and allowed to live a life as close to their natural state as possible.
Bindi is my favorite by far. Such a kind soul you can tell. And such a great specimen of a real pitbull
I love how bindi is trained to put the dead rats in the bucket! I’m addicted to these videos now
Same! She’s such a pro compared with the other two competing with each other. 😅
Crazy how many people didn't notice this. Yeah they worked together but the whole time the Tan dog was running the show it was putting away its catch damn near every time.
I'm guessing bindi wasn't trained she watched the older dogs
She's such a hard worker i'm so proud
The person behind the camera is good as well, capturing all the action the viewers needs to see
She helped block and pin also,lol
Yes she's definitely good at both of her jobs being the cameraman and helping capture the rats
I believe Joe's wife is the camera woman most of the time. I cant remember her name atm, but she's great!
That's their job dufus
I am so facinated and grossed out. The trust and training of the mink and dogs is astounding.
I live in Alberta Canada which is considered rat free even though we know there are isolated areas with rats. Grain elevators, big warehouses with international shipping containers etc. This is amazing considering all the grain grown here and all the forests we have here. The provincial government started the rat eradication program in 1950.
From the POV of the rats this must be absolutely terrifying getting spawn trapped like this: water slowly flooding your home while an vicious aquatic mink is swimming around trying to kill you, forcing you to the surface where 4 blood thirty hounds are just waiting for you to eventually surface and tear you to pieces… I love it
spawn camped lol. Shouldnt have been born rats smh.
Skill isue,ez
Our situation is also like the one here one could say,of course us being the rats
@@AniMeLoVeR23451 and the mink are the politicians while the hounds are the WEFers and depopulationists?
I felt like i was watching a really dark alien movie, there is no where to hide or run from the mink..
Can we take a second and acknowledge how massive this infestation really was?!?! Those rats ARE HUGE and there are so so so many of them! Good job guys!
6 litters a year of about 8/10 rats that mature in a week or 5. They breed really fast.
I think you would be even more impressed if you ever visit New York. It's rat heaven there.
@@porkcutlet3920 I’m not impressed though. I’m totally grossed out. lol. I am *not* looking forward to seeing New York rats driving cars because they’re so huge. Lol

Sherlock acts like a pro wrestling star. It's absolutely amazing and your minks and dogs have my respect
That's very kind of the rats to alert the dogs that they are making a run for it by squealing.
hahahahha
lol
Thought the same
They could be calling for help whilst running for their lil dirty lives🤣
@ace-paidinfull5240 these rats murder your whole family or what?
Bindy even puts the rats in the bucket!!! Amazing dog, amazing training sir. I’m thoroughly impressed.
I though beagles were good at rabbit hunting ❤❤❤.. Wow … these lil dudes aren’t bad at what they do as well ….
Bindi is such a good dog and she’s still a puppy
@@danielwatt4783 do u know what breed she is?
@@victoriahollis3454she looks to be an American pit bull terrier
I see what you meant by grabbing bindi to prevent losing more. She doesn't fight over a secured kill. She lets the younger dogs kill it while continuing to look. She's one hell of a companion. Hats off sir
Actually believe it or not, Bindi is the young pup here! Bindi is less than half the age of Gypsy and Leia is more than twice the age of Gypsy!!!! The difference between Bindi and the other dogs is pure intelligence, not experience.
Damn Sherlock was snapping bones!
My hat is off to this guy for the remarkable training these animals go through. That mink races back to the trainer and immediately goes to his cage. Very impressive.
From what I can see, it looks like these dogs and mink "despatch" a rat quicker than any commercial rat trap. As for Bindi, she is incredibly fast and efficient. Great work to you and your team Sir.
Yeah poison kills very slowly and painfully and other mechanical traps the rats learn to avoid so they become useless. And dont even mention those glue traps that just leaves the rats to starve if you dont check on them every day. Also using poison near your farm animals or crops is insanely dangerous as it could get in the food.
Traps are meant for just that, trapping 😢 least their getting killed thoroughly lmfao
Amazing to see how effective this is. Great training! Those dogs are having fun 💪
Its so mighty impressive to see how well trained hunters these dogs are at finding and cathing all these pesky rats! And the Mink doing all the underground job is just as amazing!
Gotta admire the dogs' drive and efficiency, and Joseph for rescuing fur farm mink to give them a natural life. The mink are indeed enjoying careers as splendid rat hunters!
The fact that even in times of commotion, with many rats running at once, the dogs dont accidentally go after a mink is cool. They know the difference!
That's because Dogs don't view the world like we do. The Mink smells completely different to the dogs than the rats do.
@@joshuamiller9793Yea they're looking with their nose, at one point the rat was literally right under the dogs mose but he didn't bite, i guess because of the water concealing the scent.
Spiderman into spiderverse Playstation 5< marvel Spiderman 2
Those rats in that dirt field are experiencing their own version of No Mans Land from WW1
Can’t get over the size of some of the rats - huge! Wonderfully trained ratters. Including the mink. Super cute mink!
It absolutely blows my mind that bindi can catch a rat and bring it to the bucket. She knows what to do.
Joe trained her to do that from a very young age, as he did also with Sherni(R.I.P). Any dog imo can be trained to do a specific action/task if you're willing to put in the time and effort. Of course, some learn quicker than others as all dogs aren't born equal.
I taught my German shepherd to put his chew toys in a basket. It's easy if the dog is smart.
My Cat ignores me and I didn't have to teach her how!😋
@@spaceace1006 Cats are their own master, they listen to no one lol.
A great man once said, “somewhere between natural ability, hard work, and luck, you’ll find genius.”
The dogs restraint is absolutely incredible. That is such a highly stimulating activity and they are so in tune with their owners and know when to let go or when another dog has the rat. Beautiful teamwork ❤️
The rat kill streaks must be insane
Probably only need to make that mistake once. Mink are top predators
I'm not fuk. Off 😢😢😢😢
@@kevruss9842yea but to say this is more compassionate is crazy lmao. I mean do it I don't care but it's not more compassionate.
Dude you have some well trained dogs! They're so focused and having a great time too! Hats off to you!
What an amazing team! From the humans, the camera man, the dogs and the minks!! Everyone working together to excute. And the constant praises to the team on every rat!!!❤❤❤❤Thank you for being an example of how man and anmial should work together. Taking their natural instincts, natural skills and abilities and bridging the gap between man and beast by giving them a fulling purpose while serving a purpose. I love you All!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
The dogs are doing their work, but that mink is avenging his family. That sh*t was personal.
For the dogs this is literally the most exciting thing they do all day. I bet they happily look forward to going to “work” 😄😄
Too bad we all don't have that much fun at work!
@@G_Robb I do

Good job by both the mink and the dogs. They enjoy their work, and know they're part of the family 🙂.
This is wild! So many I would not of thought they were there..those are some amazing pups you got
It is truly majestic to see such different species working so well as a team
To be fair, people have bred dogs for thousands of years to make them do exactly what they want, but the minks are amazing.
@@Shock_Treatment Ferrets which are from the same genus have been used for this for centuries
@daroth7127 They don't seem to be domesticated though. Normally, domesticated animals exhibit certain characteristics such as different patches of color, floppy ears, etc. I'm not sure what a domesticated ferret would exhibit, but these ones seem to be exactly the same as their wild counterparts, just tamed.
dang, those rats are seeing hell, one of them looked traumatized 😁😁 that it made a crunch sound truly sadistic
@@God-T I love watching the rats get obliterated
dude! watching you put your hands in that hole to pull out a huge rat with your bare hands and not get bit is one of the hardest things I have ever tried to watch. Mad chills!
Revolting
not only did he do that, he grabbed it by the scruff, lost it, the rat ran ON HIM, he trapped it with HIS BODY and pulled it by the tail as it WAS BITTING HIS JACKET, all the while calmly talking to the audience. He even uses gloves that look like human bare hands!
Yes
No watching the the dog lick his face at the end of the vid was the only part that made me cringe

Fascinating! Super happy that I stumbled on this channel. I love dogs, and every dog has a purpose. The mink is a remarkable creature.
I'm simply amazed. Especially the way the dogs can work around the mink without mistaking it for a rat.
Can you tell the difference between an outhouse and a rose bush? Seriously the difference in smell would be even bigger for a dog. Rats and minks smell very different from each other.
@@stephenolan5539 Oh yeah the smell
@@stephenolan5539I was about to say that. I’ve seen a lot of people make a similar comment and I seriously think people forget dogs have an incredible sense of smell. Mistaking a rat for the mink would e ridiculous.
They know each other they hang out after work.
The discipline the dogs and the minks have together working is insane. When the mink runs in to make the kill the dogs step out of the way truly outstanding. Working together as a team knowing when to attack and when to stand down and to dropping the rats in the bucket after the kill truly amazing. Just goes to show how smart animals are.
I can't figure out which is a worse way to go for the rat....being bit in the neck by the mink 'till dead or being shook to death by the dog ? 😵😵💫
@@dankelly5150 Bit to death. If they are lucky the first shake will snap their neck.
I love this! This was soooo interesting to watch! Loved the teamwork and amazing dog intelligence to recognise that the Mink is part of the team! The way the Mink knows what to do and listens to comeback is absolutely incredible.
Never seen anything like this before😮 Very fascinating to watch . Such intelligence between dog and Mink
It always blows my mind how well trained your animals are.
and the rats have absolutely no chance to outrun the dogs, especially when they seem to get caught up in all the dead kindling that's around.
what blows my mind is the dogs know they're chasing the rats, and not the minks.
@@officerahmo Well trained !!
At 4:45 Bindi standing up against the fence she was so focused, she ran to and started tracking from that last viewed location and I'm certain she knew when she got close enough the rat would bolt again exposing itself..She's learning so rapidly!!
She absolutely was tracking it visually from the fence !! Then Straight to the exact spot she last seen it, & it was own like Neck Bone!! 😁 Bindi is such a awesome hound !! I've been here since Onca was a pup. Thru Boss and Miss Sherni... I truly think Bindi may be the best of them all by the time she's 3 or 4 !! Heck, she getting to be like Bossman already!! Bindi will kill 3 or 4 while Gypsy and Laia play Tug of War, fighting over it. LoL Bindi slaying um in the meantime!! Joe is Top Notch as a trainer as well. Which is key to any hunting teams. He has most of them from his breading now. (Minks) and spends the time it takes too make his pack effective and efficient!!
Right that is epic like a true hunter
as if she's saying "you can't escape b*tch!!"😅😅
Wow! They are all awesome hunters! Good job training them. I’m sure the property owners are grateful.
Great DOGS!! Total team effort! Bid RATS! The mink was having a blast! SO SMART!
Bindi really grew into such an amazing dog!
Judge a man by the fruits of his labour
He’s a beast at training
She is the new Boss😂
I remember when bindi was only watching XD now she’s called apon like an weapon in an Arsenal.
how do the dogs not attack the minks by mistake when they are so hyped up to kill.
Man, I gotta tell you: even years later I'm still AMAZED by your videos. Thank you for the content.

Nice to see these dogs living their best lives, nothing would make them happier than following their natural instincts and working with their dad showing off their incredible abilities. Well done on the training and care of ur animals.. the minks r dope too!
That is their BRED instincts. They were bred to hunt that way.
@@stevenfeil7079 You're 50% wrong, actually all dog breeds have natural hunting instincts (even pugs), but selective breeding sometimes can enhace or worsen it.
These rats don’t carry infections that can effect the dogs? Not an expert but it does look like these dogs are way happier and having fun.
@@CashMoolah00field rats are normally healthier than the ones in the city, in some villages they are actually a common dish.
@@stevenfeil7079you do realize dogs have always been hunters they are also related to wolves who hunt i a similar way to these dogs just in a more efficient way.

This was just a fun watch. All your animals so well trained and on task. They had a great day in service.
Gotta give it up to YT algorithm for puttin me on this. Super interesting for reasons I can’t fully explain. Thank you robot overlords.
I'm amazed at how the mink that is hardly bigger than a big rat dominates the rats. Also amazed at how well trained the dogs are, specifically how they can be so fixated on killing rats but recognizing the mink as one of their own. I'm curious about how they live together at home.
They’re from the tough as nails mustelid family. Weasels are tiny and can take down rabbits much larger than them. Wolverines are part of that family (the largest of the musteli I think)they are the have been known to tahsin down a moose. Also the infamous honey badger is a mustelid. Pound for pound IMO any mustelid must be one the toughest mammals on earth. Except skunks and raccoons. I’m just speculating
@@blacksheddie1972 Solid speculation, especially considering the legends of honey badgers taking down lions by going for emasculation. And honey badgers are already a meme on account of their badassery
Its like 3 times the size. Imagine an animal 3 times the size of you.
hardly bigger? They are 2-3 times as large as rats
Damn those are some big fat rats.
The way you respect both your animals and the pest animals is so refreshing and is exactly what everyone needs to do. Fun for your animals and not cruel either because they're doing what they do
Quel furetto e una furia eccezionale
Respect pests? What? They are all dead
@@PsychoDudeand a dog or mink that kills a rat in seconds is much more respectful than poisons and traps that may take hours and be painful he whole time. Amazed someone has to point this out to you...especially since the video also points this out
@@PsychoDudeeah but it's a quick death instead of mouse traps that would hold it there until it starves, or injure it so it couldn't survive, or poison wich could take a while, or those fall traps where they drown, you can respect an animal you kill, that's my ancestors way of life.
I can only imagine the terror of being trapped with water behind you, a mink digging to find you and a giant dog lurking outside your hole - for half an hour. Hearing your family die in pain. You could see multiple rats not even moving out of pure horror they are experiencing. Some rats were also still struggling while being thrown in the bucket.
I have never seen dogs n minks do this. Outstanding! I can't believe how full that 5 gallon bucket is! All the dogs are getting action. Bindi though is showing great skills. Sherlock is awesome!
fascinating the dogs and mink are so co-ordinated... interesting to see how they were taught... they listen so well :)
Damn, Bindi even puts the rats into the bucket. Also amazing how she seems to assess the situation, does she need to get in on the action, or rather look for the next target? Smart dog and incredibly well trained. A testament to your skills as a trainer.
"Damn, Bindi even puts the rats into the bucket." Joe trained her to do that.
If your have never owned a Pitt they are so loyal and want to please their owners so much they will almost do anything you ask them to
@@joeroy4039 "Pitt" = pit bull terrier?
@@metarugia3981 obviously they know that lmao.
@@joeroy4039 They definitely are.Back when I was teenager I was given a pitbull pup from a friend of mine that wasn’t able to keep her,and at the time I really didn’t know much about the breed and was just gonna keep her until I found her a permanent home because I worked a lot and already had a full grown Rottweiler at the time. Well needless to say,after a couple weeks of having her my Rottweiler kinda became her surrogate mother so I couldn’t get rid of her and I’m so glad I didn’t because she ended up being the best dog I’ve ever owned and she gave me the best 10 years of her life,always by my side until she had to be put to sleep after her breast cancer came back. Since then all I’ve ever owned were pitbulls and both of them were smart and just as sweet and loyal as the first one was.I just wish more people would give the breed a chance and see that the good majority of these bad stories people hear weren’t because of the breed being bad and was due to bad owners that shouldn’t have been allowed to own any breed of dog.
I used to live on a farm when I was a kid and I and my two oldest brothers had two dogs and four cats...we would do this all the time. Turning over cinderblocks, moving hay bales, making sure there were none tunnelled under the burn barrel. The rats our pack killed were about as big as these; the farm itself was a cattle and swine farm, and of course the rats love the spilled feed and the hay made for warm winter dens (this was in Iowa). We would go through all the buildings and barns about four times a year, once a season, to make sure we were always having a chance to kill any that hid well enough to get through the last season. We didn't use hoses, but we still got a pretty good number of them. Both dogs (one was a mutt, mostly water spaniel, one an Irish setter/cocker spaniel mix) came to perfect that quick head shake that would snap the rats' spines. No minks, of course. I was 12, the oldest kid, my brothers were 10 and 7, and we did it until we moved off the farm and into the city (this was in eastern Iowa).
Super cool project in action! Loved it. The pups and mongoose work very well together with their humans.❤
I'm in love with Sherlock. He's brilliant!
When you were talking about how Bindi stopped chasing after she realized one of the other dogs already had the rat, I was already in awe of her as she picked up one of the sticks laying on the ground and moved it out of the way at about 16:56 so she could dig better. That is one smart dog!
Yeah, She was like: Damn! Move Stick!! I like Bindi a lot!! 🐕♥️
Bindi is hands down the MVP. She's so well trained it's mind blowing. Awesome job guys ❤
To the Dogs...this is big time fun!!! I'm sure the Mink have a good time too!!! Joseph has taken on the responsibility for several animals.. They are well cared for, healthy and obviously happy as a bushel of clams!!! Joseph probably has to keep a detailed journal just to make sure his animals have been vaccinated against rabies and several other diseases that Rats carry! Joseph, himself too, is probably vaccinated to the hilt!
Simply amazing. The animals are trained so well. Amazing in itself. You provide a very needed service. Worth every penny and more you earned. Love watching these videos. Watching from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
We love how your mink & dogs take care of business and get the job done..
I’ve never before in my life ever watched a video like this before, never knew rats could be hunted this way and now you just got yourself a new subscriber cause that was fascinating!! I sat and watched 43 minutes of rats being taken care of and enjoyed every second of it! The KZhead suggestion struck gold today
I was going to post exactly what you said😂

Same like the whole 43 minutes like this 😯😦😧
LoL
I'm waiting for the giant rat from the thumbnail Or is that a dog?😊
I never thought I'd be so entertained watching animals earn a living. Is pretty impressive man.
This video was absolutely mesmerizing! Kudos to you guys! U provide a great service. If u guys do work in big cites- you'll never run out of work.
Dude, I love that. It feels like "cleaning." And I wholeheartedly agree that this is much, much better, on so many levels, than using pesticides.
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier's and the small American pitbull terrier's are great ratters!
I've seen Boss when he gets maybe 2 good bites on a rat and then instead of playing keep away he gives it to the smaller dogs to finish, which frees him to chase a new energetic rat and Bindi has been watching that technique, she doesn't always have to fail and learn,she's skipping the fail part by watching the best..
Love me some Boss
I can not even conceive of a dog with better ratting decision making skills than Boss. I've watched a lot of ratting channels, not one dog has come even close.
Love Boss. Dude is a CHAMP
If Boss and Bindi had a litter together their pups would be gold medalists of the ratting world..! Astounding animals, both of them. If Boon was still around we’d have the amazing trio Boss, Boon and Bindi 😢
These dogs are having the best time. This is soooo much fun for them! Being able to do exactly what their prey drive compells them to do for the sheer fun of it..
I think so too
Love how you can see their tail wagging in anticipation. You can tell they are having the time of their lives, just hope they aren’t to tired for treats and food when they get home.
Si verdadera naturaleza
Yep it's like whack a mole for dogs and minks.
@@P.W.N.ed_9000Bout seeIng a dog really tired, i just love it. Most my dogs woukd get home super tired found still sleeping in the same spot you left them the night before is very good. Feeling very sorry to see dogs that never get tired and dont look very healthy.
I use to have a Jack Russell dog he use to catch rats from the fields by our home in Saint Cloud fl. Back in the day and he was not slow he was very fast! Keep up the great work!
Also love how Bindi places rats in the bucket, so efficient!😂
These dogs and mink are SO HAPPY doing their days work ❤
@@theunknowntxter1873 Where's that information pulled from?
@@theunknowntxter1873 Why don't they eat the rats then?
@@theunknowntxter1873 Source: Trust me bro
@@theunknowntxter1873 they are trained to do so💀
@@theunknowntxter1873Those dogs look fine to me. I think you’re reaching.
Bindi is such a smart dog! All of them so nicely trained too. Not a single bark only work. Amazed.
I love dogs nothing better than a well trained dog..and this is letting them get recreation/exercise doing sumn that is natural to them and their instincts..great content!!!
Very impressed at all of you including the Mink . Never seen this before and I was impressed to say the least. Great Job and ty for the video and all your hard work.
Those dogs absolutely have to be having the time of their lives! So amazing to watch them do what they were designed to do.
Not so much the rats though. Yikes.
the red hair dog is quite impressive for a young dog. puts the dead rats in the bucket
😢 Sorry 😔 I just have a little concern of those big rats?! which is suffering because of their poverty situation! because of us people Population it looks like we are loosing their FREEDOM to live.😢 we are the reasons why they are become a pisties. just like rich and the poor. hope NO ONE GET ANGER OF ME😢
@ADN1996,designed 2 do? I think u mean bred 2 do? Animals ain't 'designed'.
@@andrewbirch893I think they meant how wolves (by extension, dogs)where already designed by nature to hunt and kill lol
I cant believe you were able to train that Mink to be a rat hunter, it's amazing to watch!
The impressive part is the recall, the hunting skills are millions of years of evolution..
mink ferret and otter are all weasels. they are all killers. you do not have to train them to eat rats it's in their menu in the wild and they all live in the US (although farmers nearly wiped out our ferret population with dynamite back in the old days trying to kill the groundhog and gopher population)
Those animals of yours have a GREAT life ! Rolling in the mud chasing down vermin in tandem with a slippery little mink… I’m a bit jealous
Simply amazing the control the animals have, also the obedience. Best video I've seen in a long time. Glad I found it. I wanna go along in person it's so awesome.😮😮😮
That is awesome! Your animals are very impressive. First time I've seen your stuff but I'm subbing so I can get more.
I love the way you acknowledge the sentience of rats by referring to them as 'poor rats' when talking about the way poison kills them. It shows a degree of respect for them - despite the fact that they _are_ terribly damaging pests who _must_ be controlled - which they vanishingly-rarely receive.
I feel bad for em to be honest, a rat don't know it's a rat it's just doing what comes natural. Are we any different? Don't we need controlling? Shoe on the other foot, I don't reckon we would like it very much. Because it's not us we celebrate it, kind of sick imo
@@seanpittaway5341 I agree - we complain about 'pests' of all sorts when too often it is our own actions which have caused them to become pests - but do we blame ourselves for providing a perfect environment for these pests? No we do not!
@@seanpittaway5341well 50% of the population is already controlled as in men being born to be slaves to women. So poor us too.
@@lizzieburgess674 _EXACTLY_ ! Only clicked on this to learn about mink 'cause one killed my fish - but will not watch the rats suffering and terror. Don't mind seeing them shot 'cause they don't know what's happening.
@@seanpittaway5341 we are a pest that succeeded in life
Your Mink are so well behaved, apart from the rampant murderings. You should be so proud of them.
😂
This is the most amazing video! Those dogs are rockstar and so is the mink! Team work for sure- just love this!!!!
