Annihilating an EXOTIC Rat Species! 

IKR: he actually trains his dogs well enough that the dogs can help train new dogs. That’s some serious loving efficiency! :-)

i also like how he makes sures that he kills them

Thats a real alpha dog right there

@@daphneraven9439 some do the same with children

If you keep a real eye on him you catch him (Boss) swallow a rat here and there and I laugh every time.

Boss is an efficient hunter. Hunt,kill and move onto the next.

I was thinking he didn't get as many when we were there, but clearly I wasn't paying attention. He got way more than I was remembering. I think Leia was the only one that figured out they were running around overhead though.

He will soon have an animal for every environmental situation. Needs to start training like dolphins or something now

@@Wambario naw. Dolphins would be to tame fir mink man. Sharks or piranhas.

@@danielthurber8911 Yeah you right. Hope he gets some barracudas on board

@@danielthurber8911 bruh dolphins kill for fun and sharks are scared of em, lol They're straight up metal ngl

He did, if I remember correctly! A while ago, when he was introducing Raptor, he mentioned this exact thing and how the lizard would be able to fill in the gap the mink leave, because Raptor _needs_ the sun to get warm and started

Yeah, now I yell to the poor guys helping me out to put the rat in the bucket when I'm busy 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭

@@alikamran9540 she sadly passed away 😔

@@JosephCartertheMinkMan yeah sorry you lost her i know what a shitty feeling it is cos I lost my Border terrier recently I had him 12 years so it's a massive loss to me and the house isn't the same without him.

@@alikamran9540 boss is a bull lurcher

@@alikamran9540 I think he's greyhound x with some bull terrier. I might be wrong but he looks a lot like my old dog.

😂😂😂

Once had a phobia to rats; Joe's channel helped me alleviate that, now I could deter them properly in our farm. Also, extremely interesting historical and anatomical trivia (thought it was just the color difference) consider that knowledge "steel-trapped" in my mind.

@@richardgalang5113 Me too, a mate showed me we eat them, not the other way round, so I do better these days at keeping them at bay.

Better than a movie. Far better.

its oddly relaxing

These small dogs were bred to kill rats. Pitbulls to fight other Pitbulls.

Almost all dogs that eat real meat instead of corn kibble look like that.

But she's definitely a killer lol

LOL! We were talking about that on the trip.

Isn't buttercup Matthew's dog or am I mistaken?

@@chainweaver3361 Neela is Matthews terrier. Buttercup is my little Jack Russell.

Fun fact: I live in Alberta. All rats are killed on sight, you cannot even keep dead rats for reptiles, even shipped pre-frozen. We have a massive hog problem here though. A lot of big predators end up in the traps or are poisoned. When "rats" are found in Alberta, it hits the news. No one is talking about the feral pigs.

I agree that it's a great way to get naturally get rid of the infestation. Especially since the dogs absolutely love it. I still feel sorry for the rats but you gotta deal with it somehow & at least it's quick this way. Unlike glue traps. I watched animal aid have to work so hard to get a native mouse free. If you're going to take out rodents. Then do it in a quick clean way.

These comments 😂😂😂😂

I'm vegetarian and I agree too, poisoning rats or gluing them is a lot more painful than a dog in the long run

@@sladiewolf Alberta Canada?

*BESERKER MODE* !

dude buttercup is one of my favorites. i love her name, i love her tiny spunk and attitude, her never-ending eagerness to absolutely murder some rats. she's a great little dog, a true loyal companion.

LOL! We accidently left her ninja suite at the dry cleaners. They've been having troubles with some blood stains...

Buttercup is a true bred ratter. She is at her finest, when living up to her breeds DNA stock. Terrier's are a busy dog/working breed. Not a LAP dog, unless exhausted!!

23:06 that rat unlocked imperfect ultra instict for a moment 🤣🤣

When Dogs Collide

Lots of them in texas

He could probably kill some of the smaller to medium sized ones? But any bigger than that, and it starts getting dangerous for Raptor. Even store-bought domesticated 'tame' rats will bite back and do a heck of a lot of damage if fed live to a predator, and these ones aren't remotely tame.

Raptor is still to small for anything much bigger than a mouse

@@alexisgrunden1556 no rats not tame, fuckers will bite humans and dogs and lizards but Raptor will end up big Argus monitor be like 3 or 4 foot long so will smash rats soon.

@@mattgosling2657 That's why I put the word tame in quotes.

@@alexisgrunden1556 yeah I know

He uses minks

@@bendover6594 yeah I know I'm just saying what we use in Ireland and the uk. (we don't have mink)

I can't wait to see how much bigger he's gotten since he first appeared on the channel.

@@mr.dr.kaiser4912 You mean she...Turns out (based on size from one of the last updates), Raptor is more than likely a female!

@@mr.dr.kaiser4912 she still too small

yeah , the weather is warm now

YES

I immeadiately thought of the couch meme...

And the homeless barbarian they picked up on the side of the highway that goes back wild at every battle. Buttercup!

LOL! Everytime it ran out we would just circle back around in a few minutes and crank out a few more too!

Or a rat pez dispenser.

Boss,Leia and Buttercup are the only 3 with plenty of ratting time under their belts and the rest are all newbies and babies.

@@metarugia2176 Yeah, but Buttercup is far from being as good as the other dogs. She just won't listen. They can tell her 'out', 'drop it', 'stop killing the dead rat', but she just will not. She will shake a dead rat while a live one runs right by her. Watch for that some time, she does it a Lot. But yes, she Is very enthusiastic, I will surly give you that. haha

@@kyfarm Buttercup's prey drive may be too strong and she fixates on them.Not all dogs will have that catch,kill and release mindset.It really depends how "trainable" the dog is.The breed can make a difference,just look at Sherni.Not all dogs are created equal.

@@metarugia2176 True, Buttercup might not be as trainable as the other dogs, which is kind of what I was meaning. And yes, Sherni ... my own heart breaks for her, I can't even imagine Joe's pain. I can't even think of it, my mind shies away. She was so special, she was truly magnificent.

It takes a LOT of repetitions with Buttercup. There's a switch that flips in her brain and you can see her get "in the zone". It's in large part her terrier breeding for sure and part of it is she just doesn't get the same amount of repetition as Joe's dogs. It takes both. I think you'll see Gypsy progress much faster than Buttercup because of high volume of opportunity. That said, what isn't in the videos is how many Buttercup located for us. Leia is hands down the best nose dog, but Buttercup is probably second , and she very easily learned we can help her get at them. The jagd terriers that were helping were fun to watch, and with more repetition, will probably be very good. Hildi understood it early (she's the blue collar pups mother) and started both locating and catching. The pup just needs experience and maturity. It all just takes time and experience, but there is definitely a disposition factor. Lily is three years old and loves to chase, but will still not bite. Probably never will now. As hard as it is to train a dog like Buttercup to release, she at least has drive to catch. Can't teach release to a dog that won't first catch...

That tssss sound? I thought it was the rats and mice?

@@pandalala888 no that's Joseph making that sound hahaha, I make the same for my dogs so they were on high alert while watching. 😂 funny.

@@dragalochta4531 I just continued watching and you're right...haha, all this time - I thought it was the rats and mice. I love his channel!

@@pandalala888 hehehehehe. Yeah, we make the same noise to get our dogs and polecats going. Glad I helped you find that out there, that's my good deed done gor the day. 😄👍

I use that sound for my dogs because of him. My dogs will sit straight up, ready to go when they hear it.

They have a feral cat epidemic and the cats aren’t even enough to stop the rodents.

Not enough minks and dogs in the world for that

What about the mice plague in Australia.

That's not a rat...(pulls out a aussie rat) this a rat !

Y’all go need mini terminators to take them down

Yeah, poison everywhere in the city. And on top of that, they swallow a lot of toxic components when feeding in the city, due to all the pollution spread there. So if a mink/dog bites the rat and get it's blood in the mouth, he's basically poisoning itself due to how polluted their bodies are, thus you can't use this ratting method in a city.

He took them to a city once.., but I can’t remember which one

Damn Poison !!! Would Have Love To See Them In Action In The City ..

Been there, done that.

What a great movie that would be, city rats'd buy all the tickets to sit back and enjoy the horror.

she was watching, of that i am sure.

My heart hurts because we can no longer watch Sherni's considerable talent in action.

@@catpurrson3651 thanks, she was such a cool dog, and jumping would have rite on her take style 😀

@@cancer_sucks thanks I like to believe that our friends stick around and help us think straight 😉 rip beautiful girl.

Joe will get another Dutch Shepherd soon. Sherni has already shown Joe what an amazing breed they are.

Australia has a worse rat problem than the u.s. but I'm pretty sure that chasing political leaders with dogs and mink ain't going to be catching on soon.

Will Australian laws allow ratting with dogs/minks?

@@MIZZKIE yes with dogs but I’m not actually sure about minks

Im so sorry for what you guys are going through, yall are in my prayres.

@@garymurt9112 they are having a mouse plauge right now, its absoluetly horrifying.😞

Upload the video with the snake to youtube 😃

The snakes will take care of the rodents!

@@imagin916 yes, I know :)

@@jacintylou1197 I think its great, natural pest control!

@@imagin916 yes, of course

I think it’s buttercut

Your English is great! I speak other languages but, I doubt as good as you speak other languages!

@@CreativeCreatorCreates aww thx u. I often make syntax mistakes in English which is why I think my English is not good

@@ayiti4009 English is a class 7 language. It’s very difficult and makes no sense even to many of us English speakers. Im always amazed when a non English speaker speaks English so well! (Or at all)

Most small breeds and terriers were originally bred for ratting, mousing. It's in their instincts and love to do it. Makes them happier

They can use chihuahuas like the minks

Maybe somebody should create a line of Chihuahua to help ratting. I'm sure it will immensely improve the breed's quality, because you need a physically sturdy and healthy dog to do an intense job like ratting in small spaces.

@@MIZZKIE it would be pretty easy to do. "Deerhead" chihuahuas are very similar to the original Native dogs that were used to create the AKC breed and often have some prey drive. They're everywhere in AZ and NM. With careful breeding of deerheads with small terriers, I could easily see the result being little 7-lb mouse-murder machines.

That’s awesome!! ❤️

honestly, i do believe they do training on these dogs essentially from birth. sometimes a dog will take to it very naturally and not need much training, but i do think at a young age they get these dogs in to train them to hunt rats and to not hunt other things on farms like birds/chickens etc. so i do believe some consistent training is involved to actually make the dogs attack and kill immediately. you could very well probably train your dog to kill mice, but you'd want to be careful about it, of course, because behavior could easily translate to other animals if you're not careful, hence the needing to train them out of attacking other farm animals etc. otherwise it might be best to just grab his "prey" and humanely put it down yourself, if you can. lol.

Standard and Miniature Poodles were bred to have soft mouths because they were bred for retrieving; to bring back the bird unscathed. One could probably teach a Poodle to kill things, just not sure how that would work with the soft mouth business.

@Kurupt Force I assume pull toy means something like a tug toy? (And my comment about the soft mouth business is more a wondering out loud if the trainer wants a Poodle that will kill things, but also retain the soft mouth. Possibly it's easier than I think. That said, thanks for the thought about how to train retrievers to kill).

GIH! Who are you...? You're not me....
