I just asked Maggie the samething, I kind of figured she's resting I mean she is double almost the age of Gypsy. Gosh it would be awful for anything to happen to her I hate it. I still can't watch the Boon or boss video it hurts my heart way to much. These are not my pets nor will I ever meet them and I cried a week over Sherni 😭 😪 😢. I know you all do your best with the fur working babies but sometimes things happen out of our control and it's really hard to deal with. I hope all is having a bright beautiful 2024 🎉🎉🎉❤❤💙💙🐕🦮🐕🦺🐾🐾🐾🐾 I really don't like that I don't have a black pup on here.

I'm from Scotland and was curious as to whether you guys have badgers over there in the states....now I learn that you do. We have tons of them here...never knew they could be trained. My neighbour used to have lots of chickens then two badgers came by one night and attacked them...they didn't kill them but a few nights later they came back...I heard the noise but thought it was cats fighting until I saw them running by my house. My neighbour's entire flock was murdered that night. Very sad. I had never seen them so close unless they were road kill. Beautiful animals and I am now intrigued as to how they would do as trained rat catchers haha.

European badgers have been trained to hunt rats and rabbits similar to American badgers. There's stories of both types of badgers partnering with canids, American badgers with coyotes. European badgers with foxes and raccoon dogs. Taking advantage of each others' strengths and weaknesses in the same way Joseph is hoping to with his dogs and a badger.@@nuancematters

Actually it has been done rats training to eat rats
I hunted rodents with an Australian Sheppard when I was a kid. There's something magical about partnering with an animal like that. You both work as a team. Each knows the other's part. There's an awareness between dog and human. She knew when I was making my move and where the mice/rats were coming from. We kept in constant communication and understood each other completely. I miss that dog so much. Now I've got a Jack Russell with ZERO prey drive. I've never seen anything like it in my life. There's a colony of packrats who've set up a tunnel system right under her feet in the dog run and she couldn't care less. One pops it's head up, they check each other out, then the rat pops back down and she's unfazed. The positive is that she's friendly with the cats, so there is that. She's pretty much useless as far as 'dog things' go, but my heart's still going to rip in half when she's gone. Sweetest pup I've ever had.

My ex wife has a Scotty puppy that gets moles in their backyard. I keep telling her it's a terrier and that's what they were bred for. I had an English Bulldog that would chase mice. He never caught one but he wanted to lol
If you do manage to get a license to own and work with Badgers, it would be FASCINATING! We would stand to learn so so much about them and I would love to see that happen so best of luck. Also, you could try using plant-based soaps such as Seventh Generation, that shouldn't leave any harmful residue in soil, especially the variety that is free of dyes and perfumes. Love what you do.
I like the team of dogs you have now. I haven't watched your channel for a long while because I was very sad about Sherni. If anyone could train a badger it would be you!
Kudos to you admitting that you have a Working bred APBT.... Most people try to call them pittys or bully or staff terrier. Awesome working dog specimen from this retired APBT breeder.
definitely, you'll need to get the badger when he's a baby tho. so you'll have full human training + interaction.

Best wishes on you badger adventures. I think your state should recognize your special skilled mink and allow you to train and own a badger for a trial period . Learn all you can and I am looking forward to your videos
While that idea is intriguing and could work, I was duped into thinking this video was gonna be your attempt at training a live Badger! I was disappointed when I didn't see you training but am excited to see if you train one!! Keep up the good work!!
Pit Bulls ( real American Pit Bull Terriers) were used for catching rats after bull baiting was outlawed. You can clearly see how much Bindi is better at this than other dogs, plus she's really smart. Takes the rats to the bucket!? That's amazing. You're a helluva trainer man.
the badger idea sounds REALLY cool, I hope you can train one, I would love to see that video
Badger might be harder than raptor. But you like to take the challenge.

Happy new years! i just started watching your videos randomly about a week ago and just realized it right now and immediately subscribed, i know all the dogs already from just how many videos ive been watching and i absolutely LOVE THEM, Bindi really takes after Boss! Happy New years! :)

I haven’t watched in months. Bindi is so calm and smart.
If anyone could get a badger it would be you. It’s very apparent that your animals are very well cared for and excellently trained, and their natural drive and abilities are able to flourish with your hunts. All your animals’ lives are enriched working with you.

@@earthtamerronan6352 That's difficult to say. Both kinds of badgers are typically very nervous animals, it's just that european badgers will usually try to retreat into their dens first whereas american badgers prefer to put on a threat display. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if american badgers were a bit easier to start training, simply because they don't immediately try to book it when they notice a human nearby.

Where my grandmother is from in Wicklow Ireland, they had a Glen of Imaal Terrier. They are a short broad powerful dog, used to dig out badgers. They are still around. I'd imagine they would outperform a badger. They are quiet and very powerful, not fast, but they will dig faster than most and would be a good addition to a team.
Well done doggies and a special well done to Bindi for winning this one, Joseph l hope that you get the badger to add to your team, and finally guys have a great successful 2024 season to you all, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
