  1. +shillslayer: I was thinking that was a good-looking working dog, but when it came for the mix-up, my thoughts immediately went to terrier. No expert, my first thought was Jack Russell, or some other high-voltage, quick-twitch breed. Don't know how the black would do in the open against rabbit/hare, but didn't look particularly well suited as far as quickness for verminator duty. Otherwise, though, the black appeared to know what it was about. That was a buddy's mink, in for a one-off, and the dog had the wits to be a good teammate, even though "team" isn't the mink's game.

  2. Make no mistake. It's cruel. So is Nature.

  3. Yeah, I think weasel family gets a bad name. In the wild, they're killing machines, expending vast amounts of energy in the hunt, and needing to eat something like their own weight every day. Well, they've got brains that process at a prodigious rate to go with. In those little heads, they may not have the most gigabytes, but their processing is phenomenal. And who'd've thought you lure the mink out of the woodpile with a bucket of cold water? Makes total sense, once you see it,. Mink doesn't have much in the way of legs. It's moving like lightning by scissoring its whole body. Of COURSE it's overheated after 3 or 4 pursuits in rapid succession.

  4. Pretty fun gig for a young fella, especially if he admires the species and a good workin' dog. Make your hobby pay! Raising mink or ferret ain't for everybody, but I'd shore want to hire somebody like the Mink Man if I ever needed to clean out the woodpile.
