@@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.
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.
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!
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.
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!!
I’ve worked a lot of dogs on rats, but Bindhi is on another level. That dog is smart as a whip. What an impressive girl and a real asset to do this kind of work with.
Actually Minks are in the same order as dogs. They are even both caniformia, meaning they are "dog-like" carnivores. Rats on the other hand are a completly different order, they are rodents. So biologicly the dogs are long distance cousins of the mink...
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.
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
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!
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!
Not only is this "all natural" pest control, but the dogs and minks get to do what they love and live to do. Not all domestic animals get to let their instincts run wide open.
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 ❤️
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.
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.
@@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.
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!
@@stevenfeil7079 You're 50% wrong, actually all dog breeds have natural hunting instincts (even pugs), but selective breeding sometimes can enhace or worsen it.
@@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.
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!
@@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.
@@LeticiaSarabia-yb8dm yeah but they're natural rats. This would happen by a coyote and it doesn't matter. You clicked on the video. There are kids being raped in foreign countries and domestically but you wanna complain about someone doing their job? Grow a spine.
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.
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!
@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.
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
@@Rapscalionshandeekin 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
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
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.
@@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.
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
@@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.
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..
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.
@@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’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 TH-cam suggestion struck gold today
i’m 19 years old and trying to figure out life. I admire how mink man found his hobbyt/interest which is unique and something i’ve never seen, yet he is able to turn it to his career (or something he uses as another source of income) Huge props, I will get there soon
I have NEVER seen anything like this. It’s absolutely incredible. I have to be honest, it seems like dirty work but that work is keeping us healthy. Thank you!
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.😄😄👍👍
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.
😢 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😢
You really are the gold standard in working dogs and the master of minkenry, A good dogman will never overwork his dogs, and you are a classic example of that. What a fantastic opportunity for Jarret to be properly mentored. Love your videos, especially the extra long ones, like this.
I used to work on a mink farm in Maryland many years ago. There are reasons that mink have the reputation that they do!! This mink farm was for fur and so every inch of space that could possibly be used for mink, was used. That put the cages, literally right next to each other. My first day there I noticed most of the mink didn't have legs!! It turns out that mink don't let go once they have it in their mouth. So if they got hold of a foot or a leg, they would just keep pulling until it came off!! It never seemed to bother the ones that were missing limbs though. They would get around their cage with no problem at all. I never, ever even thought about having one as a pet!! Although I knew about ferrets as pets and they are really close cousins of mink. I just never saw a ferret do the things I saw mink do! You folks are pretty good people. Thanks for sharing and showing all of the things you do. Kinda sucks that that TH-cam has turned into the self-proclaimed healers of the world and clock folks for doing what's natural and normal. If they were REALLY trying to do something, they would monitor children's activity far better than they do!! They let kids watch anything they want and then the comments they start making to the adults are very disturbing!! TH-cam just doesn't monitor children in here very well. I'm going to leave here and go watch your video that TH-cam crunched. TH-cam NEEDS TO MONITOR CHILDREN FAR BETTER THAN THEY DO AND KEEP THEM OUT OF ADULT VIDEOS AND LET THE ADULTS DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT TO WATCH OR NOT!!
Holy crap! This is like seeing a car wreck, you can’t help but keep watching. The dogs and the mink are having the time of their lives. You can tell they love doing this. Great video.
This brings back some memories. My Grandad, and uncles in England used to go ratting, (and rabbiting), with there ferrets, instead of minks, the dogs LOVED it. Great to see this fantastic, old art is still alive. My uncle Eric even had a Terrier named Gypsy. CHEERS Guys!
Aye same here it was always a hoot. My pals lakeland was in a badger set for 12 hours it had to be dug out and had extensive facial damage including loosing an eye and lacerations all over it's head, neck and face the badger was not so lucky.
I just put this comment up then I see yours.......... Amazing stuff mate. @ 13.35 in I think I see your beautiful Bindi dropping her kill into the bucket, what a clever beast she is. Years ago, here in Scotland my friend ran an abattoir in the countryside close to Glasgow. During two-week shutdown we would arrive with not mink but ferrets, Jack Russel Terriers and sometimes Staffordshire Bull Terriers. The beasts were in hunting heaven. The alertness is something to behold. By the way my name is Eric.🐀
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).
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..
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.
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 😢
Bindi's intelligence and teamwork are getting better and better. I was amazed at how intelligent she was to turn around and look for her own rat. I'm always very impressed when I see her letting the terriers finish off a rat she had already started killing. I love watching how quick her reactions can be. Look at how smart she was to sniff down the escapee before spotting it with her eyes. Sherlock is so tame and energetic. He's the next Boon.
Joseph: “they are dogs, not machines.” Idk about that man they’re pretty damn close. I can’t believe how good Bindi is. You’ve trained her well, and she has a great drive to get the rats! She’ll be a fantastic edition to the team for a very long time. All the best, -Ben.
13:00 Lol i love how the dogs are literally 'fishing' for rats now. Also Bindi is AMAZING!!!! She's ridiculously good at catching! GREAT hunting instincts, superb reflexes and she always checks around, and she even lets the smaller or younger dogs get to the rat, a true leader and a more mature dog for sure.
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!
@@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.

Foresee a mink-training academy business in your future, training the pest exterminators of the next generation in controlling rats and others.
Not that I know anything about dog training but from day one your Bindi has been a joy to watch, you could see the natural skill she had. Loved the slowmo of Bindi while you explained what you see. That was amazing
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.

They could be calling for help whilst running for their lil dirty lives🤣
@ace-paidinfull5240 these rats murder your whole family or what?
Pound for pound I've never seen anything tougher than a mink! They are absolute killing machines - Ripped, fearless, smart, tenacious!!!
Look at some videos of stoats. Minks, stoats, and badgers are all very interesting animals.
@@CertifiedPG Stoats. Technically mink are stoats though I think. Ferrets and mongoose as well.
The person holding that camera deserves appreciation
Agreed!
That’s his wife, the whole family is a team. Even his young daughters are living the life of master hunters.
There were also times she could tell when the rats are coming out way before the dogs could, she's extremely skilled
Just realized I’m smiling ear to ear as I watch this!!
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
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!
"Did you pray today? Did you pray today?" -the mink underground probably.
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.
@SpaceAce100 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.”

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!!"😅😅
I’ve worked a lot of dogs on rats, but Bindhi is on another level. That dog is smart as a whip. What an impressive girl and a real asset to do this kind of work with.
The dogs are doing their work, but that mink is avenging his family. That sh*t was personal.
This comment made me laugh out loud,that boy is like an avenger 😂
Actually Minks are in the same order as dogs. They are even both caniformia, meaning they are "dog-like" carnivores. Rats on the other hand are a completly different order, they are rodents. So biologicly the dogs are long distance cousins of the mink...
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.
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?

@SpaceAce100 yeah, I remember that. Love this guy and his work.
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!

@@officerahmo Well trained !!
He is a beastmaster
Not only is this "all natural" pest control, but the dogs and minks get to do what they love and live to do. Not all domestic animals get to let their instincts run wide open.
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

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.
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.
Brilliant way of taking care of the Black Death carriers. Plus you give a purpose for the animals to use their instincts. And saving minks. Awesome
You belive thats rat and mouses are black death carriers?
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 love that Bindi is starting to put the rats in the bucket without being asked, that’s so cool
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.

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.
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.

Rats are way smarter than dogs!
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.
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!! 🐕♥️
I'm totally hooked... happiest dogs doing what comes natural but in a focused trained way.
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
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
@@Rapscalionshandeekin
Solid speculation, especially considering the legends of honey badgers taking down lions by going for emasculation.

hardly bigger? They are 2-3 times as large as rats

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.
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

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.
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..

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.

You really are the gold standard in working dogs and the master of minkenry, A good dogman will never overwork his dogs, and you are a classic example of that. What a fantastic opportunity for Jarret to be properly mentored. Love your videos, especially the extra long ones, like this.
I used to work on a mink farm in Maryland many years ago. There are reasons that mink have the reputation that they do!! This mink farm was for fur and so every inch of space that could possibly be used for mink, was used. That put the cages, literally right next to each other. My first day there I noticed most of the mink didn't have legs!! It turns out that mink don't let go once they have it in their mouth. So if they got hold of a foot or a leg, they would just keep pulling until it came off!! It never seemed to bother the ones that were missing limbs though. They would get around their cage with no problem at all. I never, ever even thought about having one as a pet!! Although I knew about ferrets as pets and they are really close cousins of mink. I just never saw a ferret do the things I saw mink do!
You folks are pretty good people. Thanks for sharing and showing all of the things you do.
Kinda sucks that that TH-cam has turned into the self-proclaimed healers of the world and clock folks for doing what's natural and normal. If they were REALLY trying to do something, they would monitor children's activity far better than they do!! They let kids watch anything they want and then the comments they start making to the adults are very disturbing!! TH-cam just doesn't monitor children in here very well. I'm going to leave here and go watch your video that TH-cam crunched.
TH-cam NEEDS TO MONITOR CHILDREN FAR BETTER THAN THEY DO AND KEEP THEM OUT OF ADULT VIDEOS AND LET THE ADULTS DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT TO WATCH OR NOT!!
Holy crap! This is like seeing a car wreck, you can’t help but keep watching. The dogs and the mink are having the time of their lives. You can tell they love doing this. Great video.
At 29:33 I was super super impressed about that Mink running straight back to you upon hearing your signal to get its reward
I am so facinated and grossed out. The trust and training of the mink and dogs is astounding.
I can't believe I watched the entire video. I randomly found this on my feed and was instantly hooked. Those dogs are fast!
This brings back some memories. My Grandad, and uncles in England used to go ratting, (and rabbiting), with there ferrets, instead of minks, the dogs LOVED it. Great to see this fantastic, old art is still alive. My uncle Eric even had a Terrier named Gypsy. CHEERS Guys!
Aye same here it was always a hoot.
My pals lakeland was in a badger set for 12 hours it had to be dug out and had extensive facial damage including loosing an eye and lacerations all over it's head, neck and face the badger was not so lucky.
I just put this comment up then I see yours.......... Amazing stuff mate. @ 13.35 in I think I see your beautiful Bindi dropping her kill into the bucket, what a clever beast she is. Years ago, here in Scotland my friend ran an abattoir in the countryside close to Glasgow. During two-week shutdown we would arrive with not mink but ferrets, Jack Russel Terriers and sometimes Staffordshire Bull Terriers. The beasts were in hunting heaven. The alertness is something to behold. By the way my name is Eric.🐀
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).
Love how well trained they all are. Especially Sherlock!!!! It's amazing to me that it hangs out like that instead of running for freedom.
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 😢
Bindi's intelligence and teamwork are getting better and better. I was amazed at how intelligent she was to turn around and look for her own rat. I'm always very impressed when I see her letting the terriers finish off a rat she had already started killing. I love watching how quick her reactions can be. Look at how smart she was to sniff down the escapee before spotting it with her eyes.
Sherlock is so tame and energetic. He's the next Boon.
Are those Jagdterriers ?or Patterdale (fell) terriers ?
I'm amazed by both the ability for the dogs to not attack the mink while all hyped up. But also how the rats don't manage to bite or hurt the dogs

Do you see how much class this man has? No clickbait titles. That's a real TH-camr ladies and gentlemen.
13:00 Lol i love how the dogs are literally 'fishing' for rats now.
Also Bindi is AMAZING!!!! She's ridiculously good at catching! GREAT hunting instincts, superb reflexes and she always checks around, and she even lets the smaller or younger dogs get to the rat, a true leader and a more mature dog for sure.
Oh my goodness! Bindi putting the rat in the bucket was adorable!!! What a good pup!
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
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.
Just read the NY Times article on Joseph Carter. You're doing amazing work, bringing an eco-friendly and humane solution to the pest control business. Wish you much luck on your journey. Foresee a mink-training academy business in your future, training the pest exterminators of the next generation in controlling rats and others.
I wonder what he charges to do an extermination of that size on such a large piece of property? That is a big job.
The dogs and the minks are very well trained!!
Good job.
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 symbiosis you've built with these animals is amazing.
The camerawork is amazing on tracking those quick rats
She even remembered where she came though the wire fence and to come back out the same way with no instruction. Pretty smart dog !
The mink, despite its size, is an insane hunting machine bro I'm impressed with its speed and versatility. It fears nothing, well trained!
I'm just glad they aren't the size of golden retrievers. We'd all be screwed!!
I just watched a video about Martens (which are also in the weasel family).
Imagine if those things were the size of humans 😳 😱
I don't think you need to train them, they hunt all in instinct
@@elestromusicgamesfun1101I was just going to ask this.
Bro goes in and all you hear are screams 😂😭
Not that I know anything about dog training but from day one your Bindi has been a joy to watch, you could see the natural skill she had. Loved the slowmo of Bindi while you explained what you see. That was amazing
