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.

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.

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.

[@jasonklein3157]

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!

@@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.

When I was 16, I worked in an Airedale and Welsh Terrier kennel. Part of my job as kennel maid was emptying the hav-a-hart traps, and feeding the rats I caught for 30 days, so the owner felt confident none of them were sick. I never really knew why she had me catching them caring for these rats, but there was so much always happening in a 100 dog boarding kennel, it didn't leave a lot of time for questions. Then one afternoon, when I came back from lunch, she told me to bring in the cage with rats. She had a little pen where she kept puppies when there was a litter, and she put Carrie, one of the Welsh Terriers in the pen. I watched at first in horror, but soon in awe and delight as one by one, the rats were dropped into the pen. Carrie grabbed it, expertly shook it hard once or twice, then eagerly waited for the next. Some of them never made it all the way to the floor because once it was dropped, she caught it, shook it and it was over. It was one of the most interesting things I had seen in my young life. Even more impressive was watching the Airedales during field trials. They were getting rats out of their burrows just like in this video. I don't know how I stumbled onto your channel, but I'm glad I did. I had no idea that people used minks to kill rats! This is fascinating stuff for me. I'm already hooked! So you now have a new fan in me. Good job, all of you!

[@JohnBare747]

Bindi has Great Situational Awareness! And it's so purposeful, not just a random happenstance, she knows exactly what she is doing when she does that. When she abandoned a rat to the other dogs she immediately was paying attention to the holes back where she came from and more or less daring a rat to pop up out of one and start running. When working all those holes, and that's a hell of a lot of holes in close proximity, she was playing the doggie equivalent of Whac-A-Mole with except with nice big fat juicy Rats. Now putting the rat in the bucket is a trick you taught her but her new "trick" of paying attention looking for a new rat when letting the other guys have her rat is no Trick, that takes smarts and a lack of selfishness and understanding what it is you guys are trying to accomplish. Just a great dog!
