      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".

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.

    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.

      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.

    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).

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 kinda had a feeling you were going to raise bindi as a top tier hunter. everything from automatically dropping in the bucket with no more commands and the fact he instantly turned around to look for trailing rats meant bindi is actually using his brain and not just chasing the ball

    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!

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.
