I wish more people had the courage and responsibility to re-home a dog that is not thriving at a home. Not just abandon them or keep them in poor conditions forcefully for selfish reasons. .. Glad she got a new home and I hope she goes well.

There's no shame in rehoming a dog. Like you said, it's how responsible owners should behave. My wife is a vet and we both volunteer at shelters. In fact, I suggest even fostering a dog to take the pressure off. If you find the right fit, adopt the dog permanently. If you're dog is a pure breed, they are simple to rehome. Both owner and pet should be happy. The relationship should be mutually beneficial.

@@piteusx8440 I think the only time rehoming is a negative is if A)The dog is very old and has been with the family for a long time. Rehoming can cause a lot of distress, especially when an animal has formed a long standing attachment and it’s very hard to adopt out older animals. Like you wouldn’t abandon your grandma just because she got old. B) Rehoming animals flippantly, or if it’s trend of buying/adopting animals until the novelty wears off. C)Rehoming a family pet because a new gf/bf doesn’t like xyz pets and you want to impress them or if they’re giving ultimatums like ‘it’s me or the dog’ without a very valid reason.

As someone working in the veterinary field, thank you so much for rehoming your dog. We get terrible cases in our intensive care unit of dogs that get into fights with their housemates, and they come back again and again because the owner won't consider the dog's wellbeing. Thank you for caring enough to find her somewhere that would be safe for her.

Or get proper training. It's tough to find a trainer able to rehabilitate such cases but rehoming is a bad ides because the dog is aggressive and sent somewhere else and then eventually put down. Best to get proper training. It's as rare to find as it is to find someone ratting with dogs.

Even though gremlin is still alive the way you talk about her makes it clear that you are experiencing similar feelings. It sounds like she will be happy in her new home and it sounds like parting ways was in her best interest. Take care man.

@@jeffffro7674 I’m not sure if it has anything to do with him utilising their instincts at work - but his dogs are able to release their needs for hunting routinely, in my opinion creating a harmonious relationship between dogs, him and other working animals - Gremlin wasn’t able to work as often and I’m not sure if that pent up her instinct and need to hunt so she then let it out on Sherni.. We don’t give enough credit to animals with how intelligent they are but we see right there the choice Sherni made showing her personality, I think they all know who’s who (this is new baby Boon) and Sherni in sense showed him who’s boss even though she knows Mink are off bounds, to kill the mink would mean to disobey Joe and that isn’t in Sherni’s best interest which she is fully aware of

Thank you for letting us know about Gremlin. I was touched by the way you took her needs into rehoming her. Not just anyone would have done that. We were given stewardship over the animals meaning we were meant to care for them and see to it that they were humanely treated. You have demonstrated that over and over not just for your dogs but for your mink. Of course the rats, muskrats, beavers, and raccoons don't think so but then they do have a 50/50 chance. Your little ones are growing like crazy and are getting so smart. A good idea to teach them to do another language too! Keep up the excellent work.
Kudos to you for making a difficult decision and doing what was best for Gremlin. It’s never easy to part with a dog you love. ❤️
Sorry to hear about Gremlin. I had to rehome my dogs as now being disabled I can no longer give them the attention and exercise that they needed. They went to really good homes. It is really heart breaking to do it, great respect to you Joe.
I loved when Joseph warned Shernie not to retaliate the mink after that provocation. Mink can be really aggresive and it was a clever move from a man who knows his companions.

She not
We had a miniature pinscher when I was younger that was just like Gremlin. She loved to go out and hunt for rats and squirrels and was fine with our other minpin most of the time. But every so often she would snap for seemingly no reason and latch onto our other dog. But she was older when we adopted her so we gave her the best life we could with the years she had left. But I do understand the frustration. It's hard.
Joseph, you did absolutely the best thing you could with Gremlin. I know it was a hard decision, I can see how hard it was for you. Thanks for telling us, you did the right thing! From those pictures, I can only imagine how happy she must be in her new home!
Sherni smacked the hell out of the mink made my day😅😂🤣sherni to mink u will reap what u sow lol 🤣
Gremmy was one of my favorite girls and I loved watching her grow into a confident hunter. I'll miss her, but I'm glad she's somewhere where she can be safe and still hunt.
i have little knowledge of Gremlin but after the explanation, i can comfortably be in peace of mind knowing you went the extra mile for the dog's best interest. Thank you for sharing this

@Douglas Dog Collections That was clearly typed in the accent that The Count uses.
Dogs lick their owners faces emulating an instinct as puppies. Puppies will lick their mothers mouth to induce vomiting so that they can eat the vomit. It's a way for dogs to let their owners know that they want something. Sherni licking your face is her way of telling you that she wants some of the treat as well.

It's more an expression of affection than anything. Some dogs even learn to "smooch" with just their lips with their mouth closed. One of my dogs even "smooches" her puppies faces! She's been kissed and cuddled since I got her at 8 weeks and seems to have absorbed open affection as her "culture." It melts my heart that she now shows that same type of learned behavior to her babies 💖

Thanks for taking the time to explain. Feels like we've all lost a family dog. You gave her the best chance at a great life :)
I am a new subscriber ( not sure how I found you though), I think your honesty re little Gremlin is superb! You did what was right for her, making sure her new family treat her in the way you do!! Well done Sir!
Giving her a new home is why you're a great pet owner. I hate people who put their pets in neglected situations (small apartments, alone all the time) and say they love them. If you really love somebody you want what is best for them. Even if that means a tough sacrifice on your part. Cheers!
Thank you for your honesty ‼️I always admire how well you always put your animals BEST INTEREST ahead of all else... You found her a home Where she can use her best assets and work the way she loves and be loved the way you would love her in return ‼️🧡🖤🧡🖤
Here to see gremlins update
As a fan of your channel I have to admit that I went to the end of the video first to hear about gremlin,before going back and watching the beginning, being a dog owner myself the bond you form with it is unmatched,you seem to give your dog's a dream life which some of the breeds are bred to do and not be fashion statements or left to lay in beds or neglected after buying,big respect and admiration for how your animals are treated and for sharing and explaining things honestly about what happened to one of my children's favourite dogs who I watch vids with,keep up great work and massive love to your family😔😍
I hope you still get to go and see her :) Appreciate how you care for your animals, it's very heartwarming!
WOW!!! I'm only just seeing this bit right now and I have to tell you that how you've handled the situation with your dogs only further proves what a true animal lover you really are.
I just heard about the killing of millions of minks in Scandinavia because of the coronavirus and my first thought was you and your mink. I know there is a HUGE difference between the mink on fur farms and your mink, but I've seen people lose their pet chickens, who they had for up to 15 years and were family members, just because of the potential of virus spread in factory farms here in the US. I'm just hoping you will be spared the horror. Stay safe.
Oh, thank goodness. I was seriously scared that Gremlin had died or was grievously wounded or something. It's always so sad to say goodbye to a member of the family, but you did the best thing for all involved. You're a good man, and I'm sorry for your loss.
Another great video, Boon seems extremely confident and at times I thought overzealous before but damn does he learn & adapt quickly. Future is bright with that one. Sorry to hear about Gremlin, must be extremely hard to deal with but you made the best decision for your team and her.
Sad about Gremlin, but you did the right thing for her. Surprised how Villain changed. Just to show these mink are still wild animals.
Good on-camera work today. You were very polished in the segment where you discussed Gremlin. It's a sign of competence as a presenter when you can effectively ad-lib a monologue on such a painful subject.
Thank you for making the HARD, responsible decision to get Gremlin to a safer situation. She’ll get over it quickly, she is probably already over it.
In the UK They say you’re never no more than 50ft away from a rat. Love the video 👍👍👍

The reason I heard they are so concerned is that it appears the Covid the minks are getting is mutating. If a vaccine is approved it might not be as effective because of the mutation. The virus looks like it is very deadly to minks and can kill them within a day. Also read about a mink farm in Utah that was having problems with the virus, but don't know if they are having the mutation problems. I'm worried the government might decide to ban people from having minks, which would be terrible for someone like Joseph.
I remember as a kid, having to learn how to count fingers on a stick figure. Counting dead rats takes counting to a new level.
