Watching Fang and Onsa play with each other in the snow was so enjoyable to watch. Looks like they were having a ton of fun!
Hi Joe, Maggie & girls, this was a nice little trip down memory lane! What an awesome mink Fang was, never forgotten by us either. Merry Christmas & we hope you have a Happy New year love from the Richardson family UK ❤️
Fang was really something special.
First time watching this? Did she die of old age? If you know so I don’t have to wade through all these vids to find out
@@jardaun154 she got lost when they were out on a walk and was never found again.
@@2devious724 dang Fang
thanks 👍
@@jardaun154 no problem
Aw Fang was a great wee mink. You're right, we don't see all you do in training/bonding but we do see the result of the time spent. Any animal-lover feels the pain at the loss of your mink or dogs. 😘👍🏻
Hello 👋dear, how are you doing?
Sorry for your loss, Joe, but as such a great predator Fang would have a successful life in the wild. You have wonderful memories of her and your lives together. No doubt she thinks of you when she's curled up at night, too.
This channel alone totally changed my mind about dogs.
THANKS...
Wow have things changed, it like this was just yesterday! What your able to do with training animals still amazes me as much now it as back then, maybe more. You definitely have a special gift!
Hope you, your family and all the animals have a great holiday.
I’m sorry for your loss. Amazing tribute video. I’m sure that mink is doing fine. She is an amazing hunter.
i like how oy designed the yard leash system for the mink, she has so much room to move around and isn't tied cruely to a post. also the fact that your watching her at all ties shows how much you care for these animals
This vid is great, it shows the mink grabbing the back of the head, base of the skull and at one point, Fang drags the body down to her head/mouth, with her front claws. Awesome! And Fang really understood bringing the kill inside the box, consistently.
The hours and work you have spent with mink is a first, definitely a documented first! Your work with mink deserves professional recognition. That you put a book out on your training mink is stellar! Any one who trains animals, trains animals to hunt should have your book. Pet shops should carry your book, vets should be aware of it, at the very least - dag, Rite-Aid should carry your book!
Thanks for all your vids!
Your family is so wholesome, it cheers me up, even when I'm having a terrible day. I just found out that my parents are divorcing, so I really needed this. Thank you for existing, and thanks for the memories!
I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you are doing okay!
Sorry , mine split when I was a baby and I was raised by grandparents. Just list my father a few months ago and I don't really stay in contact with my mother cause she still lies and uses drugs.
Have some more tough news to share with you about the whole marriage topic though. Just a heads up marriage doesn't mean much these modern days and only last a few years. Hardly anyone values loyalty and commitment any longer. And unfortunately it's been my life experience that there's very very small group of women that understand and value the words loyalty and or faithful. I know allot of men are monogamously challenged to but it's been the facts of what I've seen it's really high amongst females. So if your one of the lucky few that get even a luckier fewer good woman you better not take for granted!
But there's other things in life to cherish. Family and friends is what really matters in the end anyway. You can't take anything with you when you die so material is only just that " material " . Best wishes for you and your journey 👍
So sorry you lost your friend. Having trained several border collies to work sheep, I know what goes into training just one animal, and I'm assuming training a mink is even harder. Loosing one so special is such a tragedy. One never replaces another, but it does help keep you going. Look at all the wonderful footage you have of Fang. I wish I had more of mine working sheep. You are inspiring to me Joe!
Got here because I work for animal control in my city. Last night we had a guy who caught a mink in a trap because it was killing the ducks in the pond nearby. Obviously we just released it and educated him because we don't stop nature. Predators got to eat too.
@@Lalayo69 *eye roll
@@soyjoyy love how it’s always the wildlife that’s the problem and not the humans constantly encroaching further and further into THEIR land.
I’m sure that’s just great until it’s your livestock or pet
Fang's a legend. You are too Joe. Your videos show how to not underestimate these animals and how strong and intelligent they can be
What an awesome mink, absolutely brilliant! It's so refreshing to see someone who really does idolise their animals 💖 thankyou so much Joe& family for the education and wonderful little window into your lives and these awesome adventures
Its amazing how fast a minks reactions are. The slo-mo is fantastic. Beautiful Fang.
Sorry for your loss brother. Fang is doing great out there!!!!! She The Queen of wherever she is!!!!
These mink seem to have natural black belt jiu-jitsu skills -- they're able to "take the back" of their prey super fast and somehow anchor themselves to their prey so that it can't wriggle free. That has to require incredible dexterity and a super advanced built-in fighting intuition.
Fish is not a predator, muskrat is.
This footage from yrs past is golden !!! Remembered like it was last week !! TIME FLIES................
I love watching and telling people about The Mink Man!
I just found your channel and never had any idea how utterly beautiful Mink are. Wow, stunning animals!! Its really interesting to see them play and show affection to a dog and human the way they do. Its obvious they are extremely intelligent animals.
I remember watching the video talking about losing Fang, and crying at the loss. She and Onsa are playing together in the clouds now, instead of in the snow. It was so good to revisit some of those happy memories.
Has Onsa passed as well?
@@lukehayre7346 Both Onsa and Sherni passed away before we were ready for them to go, yes.
I’ve been watching y’all for 3 years! I’m so sad but proud to see how strong your family is about this ❤️ don’t blame yourself, she’s happy wherever she is 😊😊
Fang was just a straight up assassin.
What a difference to the "life" in a Mink Farm.
Love it. 👌🏻👍🏻
Mink are such beautiful and amazing naturally skilled hunters. I'm so glad you're able to share with us your adventures with Fang.
Wow - so sad you lost her. Has to be the perfect mink - brilliant muskrat hunter, sweet with your baby, yourselves and the dog. Thanks for posting such a perfect tribute video.
The way Fang jumps on those muskrats is impressive.
Love that you slow down the action for us! Wonderful to see this teamwork.
Very good stuff. Watching you, the dog and the mink work as a "team" is AWESOME. All of you are professional hunters. Thanks for sharing
Playing in the snow, priceless!!
Fang is so cute! I love Olive's little hat where you guys are playing in the water :) Too cute!!
Joe, thank you for the happy memories of Fang and Onsa! They were an awesome team and I remember them well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family, and of course the wonderful animals that surround you!
That soo true I remember watching them back in the day she was super special they had a different bound and you can tell
AwwwWwwwww NoooOoooooooOooooooo thank you so much for this. I'm sure there's a little empty spot in your heart for Fang.
I truly hope she's okay. Living her best life. Wouldn't it be serendipitous if you found her. And she came running back. I'm so sorry
It's so amazing how a mink can and will hit above it's weight class with no hesitation.
Thank you for this Joseph. May the Peace of God continue to fall down on your beautiful family!
I feel for you man. It's hard to lose our critter loved ones.
Lucky man to have such well behaved dogs they definitely love you
It's cool to see how the dogs and mink Work and play together.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos and fond memories of Fang. I remember seeing you work with her, and you have done such amazing work with mink still to this day.
It REALLY impresses me how STRONG the mink is, and how it can take on and kill animals equal to, or greater in body weight. Down in Texas my cats and other people's cats would take on diamond back rattle snakes and win all the time. They were faster, and wore the snake out than crushed the head.
minks endurance impressive af..... I feel like their build is the perfect predator to wrap up a muskrat, if a mink took on much of anything bigger (that was also aggressive)...might not fair so well.....i'd say more lethal/calculated than strong know what I mean?
I've watched this many times and I still can't stand it in my heart ❤ 💔 thinking that little angel is gone. I know yall looked and tried to find her and then her bff was a dog my heart just hurts for her knowing she's thinking she's going to see her when yall get home and she's gone. I swear I wish yall would of had the dog she would of found her id bet my life on it.
Isn't it great to reminisce? Fang and Onsa, a pair made in heaven for sure. Thanks for the trip!
Sorry for your loss. I soooo enjoy the slow motion. Its neat to watch the mink and the dog work together.
What a team. Onsa and Fang were pretty amazing together.
The world needs a mink man like you in it
Omg, Onsa! You are full of legendary animals. They will never be forgotten.
I had only watched a few of Joseph's videos when he had to make the video abt losing Onsa, so I've been following him since that time.
Me, too.
When I knew of Mink Man's channel, I was binge watching then all until I reached the newest videos and then... The present video of her passing.
I liked Onsa so much. It also got me very curious about breeding process and how much work it is to develop a great work dog.
Fang is incredibly fast! Amazing that she's able to catch trout
Very sorry to hear that she got away, but I'm sure she's making her way out there
the best mink and dog duo of the century
You can almost see how Fang progressed in skill at getting at the muskrats' necks.
I take my dog everywhere, 🐕 because she's one in a million, so I feel you! I hope you find her one day
Sorry your loss, the greatest hunter than all, Mink FANG.
Your mink looks mighty mellow sittin in your lap. You guys can have those trouts.
Fang, is awsome Pet. She is AMAZING!!!💓💓💓💓💓
mink are clearly an OP level predator for sure, not gunna lie watched alot of your videos and literally these little guys are sport hunters almost, quite impressive
So sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry for your loss, she was so amazingly trained and had a great personality.
I am very sorry to hear this devastated news. I pray you can reunite with her some day. 🙏
Wow ok, I was not expecting it to be so sad at the end💔. It was a great video tho! "The Legacy of Fang: The Swiss Army Knife". And Fang was a Gorgeous, super intelligent, warrior. Well trained & conditioned, as well. Id like to imagine Fang turned out just fine & had a long happy Mink existence...
OMG, I am so sorry to hear about Fang!!! My condolences!!!!!! I lost a cat which I raised from birth- Booger was his name! I called him Boogy woogie then my dog Shaggy! I raised him from about the age of 6 weeks to 4 yrs old when my girl defrauded me, decided to go another path, lost a 40k house & alot of my posesions!
So sorry for your loss. I totally understand.
You sir are a wonderful example of a human being .. living of the land loving animals .. love your chanel
I'm taking care of a 6yo family companion West Highland White Terrier, a "Westie", named Haley.
-+-
Oh I’m so so sorry to hear that you lost fang. That’s very hard to lose your babies you put so much love and time into them I’m so sorry💔
I really enjoy your videos. I cried when Fang disappeared. It is hard to lose animal that you share a special bond with. I hope the little mink will thrive and prosper in that habitat and will have stories for her progeny about her time with her special human. I love the Dutch Shepherd you have. I would like to find a comparable canine companion.
What an amazing mink!
Excellent hunter
Lovable
Adorable
Knows how to cache
Playful
Family oriented
Tame
I simply love your videos, I grew up in the suburban midwest, in an area with lots of opossum, raccoons, rats, coyotes, squirrels, snakes, mice, bats, ect. My family thought is was a good idea to get purebred west highland white terrier. That champ spent more time with red fur than white ;) And as a ten-year-old or so, I became quite good at cleaning up him, and his mess. My mother always tried to punish the dog my having him sleep in a crate after his adventures.. But after I washed him, with mane&tail shampoo, I would always break him free at night and let him sleep with me, despite him tearing my legs up protecting me from the evil rodents under my blanket. (my feet) To this day, I know how to sleep perfectly still!

“What are those noises?”
“It sounds like death.”
I'm sure she'll do ok Joe. I don't know if there are wild Mink where you live, I was hoping she would eventually meet the man Mink of her dreams lol. But if not her belly will always be full.
so happy to see you treat your black pets lovingly! 💙
I understand the time you spend and thanx u do a great job training them there work show's.
Sorry that you lost her. What a great video. Showing Olive so young also was wonderful.
I’m starting to develop a lot of respect for these animals. They’re absolutely one of natures strongest predators. Can you imagine one the size of a Rottweiler. It would be at the top of the food chain.
Ive never met Fang but after watching these videos im in love with her. What an amazing hunter. Those muskrats must have bin 3 times her size.
Fang is so beautiful, so cute and so strong🥰😍
I really liked this video. I miss Fang! I wept when you lost her. BUT, that led to your getting Sherni. So, I guess God opened the opportunity for all of us to get to love Sherni.
I see in the video, "The Mink Swiss army knife", Onsa jumped in the water & caught a muskrat!!! Teamwork is dreamwork.
Mink,are incredibly smart. And playful. So,is the river otter. They are so much,alike yet one is so much bigger. ,,,
Sorry about your loss. Having her from a baby, is a tough loss. Our tears, also. Do you go back looking. Whistling
Dinnerplate of Mink caught crayfish!
This was so wholesome, felt so warm watching fang and the dog.
Ese animalito es una pequeña bestia. Que feroz y agil es pero tierno a la vez. Ya quiero uno
What a great Mink Fang! I wonder if she had babies! 😢 Miss her. I’m sorry for your loss.
Ahhh I’m sorry you lost Fang, remember all that training and love you gave her. I bets she having a great life in the wild
your blessed and I'm sure you will find another favorite to bond with 👍 that's why they hunt so well with you.
Damn dude. I wasn’t expecting that ending. She’s thriving bro 😎
holy moly... fearless Fang ! he don't play... 😯 and smart.
Fang missing is a huge loss. So sad. Ive become a fan of mink thanks to you. They seem like mini otters. Cute and vicious lol. You clearly have a lot of love for your animals, Its a real treat to see mink and dogs play. Truly beautiful to see you and the team hunt pests.
I can't believe how big these muskrats are and that the mink can take her on!
I absolutely love your videos man. Sorry about your loss, and I wouldn't worry too much. They fidget and chew, so she'd bound to have chewed it off. Happy Holidays to you good sir!
That little mink is fearless.
I’ve been looking at your videos I’m super impressed with your work. Blessings to you and your family awesome work
WOW! Fang was one of a kind. What a shame that you lost her in the prairie grass. Then there was Boone, who got trapped all winter in the neighbor's shed. That was a tragic loss.
Well, now you have Sherlock and Honey Badger. That combo is lethal.
Wonderful tribute to Fang. Onsa and Fang made a great team together.
I was a subscriber by that time when you did that video about Fang fishing with Onza. But now you have Boon who is meant to be the best of them
The dog and fangs friendship is super wholesome
Sorry for your lose , losing a best friend is never easy
Gees Joseph this is amazing to me, watching mink do her work is fascinating 👏
We all get very attached to our pets. They become part of our families. We will all miss fang to.
I'm devastated by the ending of this video... she just disappeared 😕
I'm sorry. I wish you and your family only the best in your future adventures.
They are such adorable little murder machines.
