103 Rats eRATicated by Mink and Dogs!

It still amazes me how the dogs know not to bite the mink, even during the height of excitement. I could watch these videos all day long. I miss Sherni...

I am people.. But still i really understand you. Lost my dog and it really broke me. Even tho i am people, i got judged for my sorrow. By other people. In three weeks i will have a none judgemental being by my side again. We are people. I have faith in people when i see a comment like yours. There is animals/dogs and there is a special kind of people. Just make sure you do not meet the wrong ones. People thats is. Animals are honest and innocent in their wrongmaking. ❤️

[@sheilaray5235]

I love all the positive reinforcement Minkman uses for his working pets. A much more humane and environmentally friendly form of pest control. It isn’t about bloodlust. Minkman channels inherent animal instincts to work a specific problem. He’s a country boy who understands how rat/mouse feces can contaminate a cash crop as well as animal feed for horses, chicken, goats, etc. Mice and rats are messy eaters that spoil more food than than they consume. Over six months, just two barn mice can devour as much as four pounds of grain and leave up to 18,000 droppings. Pest feces can also spread disease from animal to animal to human. Keep up the humane treatment of nature’s “workers” in providing organic pest control! It’s obvious that they love their work!

[@znail4675]

It's also rather telling that he has to use old videos as many of the places have visited are totally void of rats now making him a victim of his success.

[@lorrainecampbell6448]

I love seeing these videos with Sherni. I know it must have been so hard to even watch these after she died, but seeing these now shows us what a happy life she had.

[@lesleyyoung5730]

Thank you Joseph, for sharing this video that included Shernie, I know how hard this must have been for you. It was wonderful to see her again.

[@CMZneu]

Honestly that "leaving the kill out in the open" behavior is very important, if you can i would breed for that even if the mink was kinda bad at hunting, you can always select for that later, anything to reduce the training the mink need is essential!

[@davidvondoom2853]

I was thinking the same thing. That's a trait worth breeding.

[@botzogg896]

Boss is such a gentle giant, killing the rats with strong bites, while the smallest of the dogs is the craziest.

When he told us what happened to sherni my heart took a hit had to pause the video and think why I felt so strongly about a dog I’ve never met and only seen through a screen. It’s because she was special I had respect for her and her amazing capabilities. She will always be missed by us 🪦 ❤️ 🐶

Joseph why are we seeing old videos I hope everything is ok with you and your family the mink and your dogs I hope you haven’t been punished by KZbin and you will be back with some new content for us to enjoy soon.All the best Joseph from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@JoviaI1]

My hopes are they're just taking vacation before school starts or something. This month and next are generally when school starts in the US.

[@mandolinman2006]

I'm hoping he's just trying to get through some of the backlog. Either that or editing them down more for KZbin.

[@omnomshibob]

Hot weather in the USA (now) equals not a good time for minks or dogs, so light on content. Although that's my guess based on previous content so could be wrong.

[@richardbidinger2577]

Maybe he just on vacation.

I really loved the slowed down footage, you can clearly see how the dog hesitated , to let the mink take care of the rat! Amazing technique using natural pest control methods, dog and mink and the mink mad make the most amazing combination! Great job!

[@tinabarrette963]

I love your relationships with your animals. All positive reinforcement, people forget that it is the only way to interact.

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

This is my favorite vid because Butcher and Savage, if not mistaken, were given their names and Houdini brings the dead rats up. The minks are in their environment and lovin' it! Star quality 🤩

[@reisk1777]

I've known a lot of dogs. Most were house pets but I've known some working dogs, too. Out of all of them I can only imagine one dog that might not think this is the best way to spend a day with your favorite human ever. I have a silly little Shih Tzu / Terrier cross (yes - he's a genuine 'Shihtier') who thrashes his toys like this.

[@ByHerHand]

Even after all these videos I’m amazed that the dogs never go after the mink in all that excitement.

[@865style]

I've asked questions about that lol.

[@metarugia3981]

They've been trained to work with each other and it takes time. The dogs can differentiate the mink's scent, size and shape from other prey like rats, muskrats etc.

[@CMZneu]

@@metarugia3981 Scent can only tell you if the mink is around the area, in the heat of the moment they mainly do it by sight and sound

[@CMZneu]

They are used to it, also mink bite back much harder than rats do so they are also a bit afraid of the mink which is good in a way.

[@chickenmonger123]

@@CMZneu There are videos where they warn dog owners that the Mink will bite the dog if it gets too close. A dog is only likely to make the mistake once. However dogs are cooperative hunters. If they don’t view the Mink as part of that, they do view humans and other dogs. Which means they can model their reactions based on those other two. Humans and trained dogs are pretty absolute about the respect for Mink that their teeth and speed deserve. If they watch, they’ll know.

[@lilcamel2156]

This is such a cool channel I always enjoy watching these videos.

[@GoinDownhill361]

Never ceases to amaze me how silent minks are. They barely do anything more than just a sniffing 😳

Has anyone ever wondered how “Boss” got his name…? Yeah I didn’t think so lol He is the literal definition of his name 💯💯💯

[@gingerninja8907]

When I lived in uni dorms they used them green rat poison boxes. One was poisoned right outside my window. The screeching was so intense I thought it was 2 rats fighting to the death. It literally haunts me to this day the excruciating screams that went on for at least 3 whole minutes. Idk exactly what the rat poison does to kill the rat but I can say for sure that even though they're being hunted this method is definitely more humane 💯

[@nermalsturf]

most rat poison acts as an anticoagulant, causing the rat to bleed to death internally. it "works" because rats son't have a vomit reflex, so once it's ingested, it's a slow death. absolutely inhumane.

More recently I have wondered if you could train a fox to rat hunt.

[@metarugia3981]

Foxes belong to the Canidae family, the same as dogs. Which means they can be trained to hunt, and as we all know dogs are very easy to train, but it MUST start at a very young age.

[@omnomshibob]

Joseph could train anything he turned his mind to, given time.

[@LizzS17]

@@metarugia3981 Foxes are not the the same as dogs. Dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and want to please their owners so they are extremely trainable. Just because they are both Canidae it doesnt mean they behave the same. That's like saying "you can train a dog to be a hunting partner so you can train a bear to be a hunting partner." I'm not saying it's impossible to train a fox to do something but I have never seen a fox be trained to do things like a dog.
