Jack Russels are bad***

The Jack Russel in this video is named Patsy, and she found herself a cape cobra in the house. Feeling that this was unacceptable, she dragged the snake outside and fought it on the lawn. Honestly it wasn’t much of a fight, it was a slaughter. The snake didn’t have a chance. It’s good that Patsy’s instincts were on point, because the cape cobra is a highly venomous snake. A bite from one of these snakes can drop a human if not properly treated, and could easily kill a small dog. Unfortunately for the snake, it never had a chance to try and strike. Patsy was all over the reptile from the start. At first circling the reptile and growling, waiting for the right moment to strike, then leaping forward and snatching the bugger in her jaws. Grabbing and whipping the snake around like it was a toy, Patsy shook the life out of the venom filled reptile until it was dead. Good job Patsy, way to keep the house safe.

From Patsy’s owner in the comments on YouTube:

Is Patsy Trained ? Well you see, she was given to me as a puppy of 6 weeks old by a breeder of Jack Russels, but because of the reason that only one eye had the Brown patch and not both she was classified as a ” reject” and not fit for the market and not even for breeding , I got her for free. If I didn’t take her then, the breeder would have had her put out. Since that day she was treated like a child and in each others company 24/7. She never had a choke-chain or anything around her neck for training purposes because the communication between us two to such an extend that we have developed a state where she by telepathy exactly know what I’m up to, without failing. What training does she need? Like both my grown up sons when they were babies, only good upbringing….thats all. She is mentally and physically totally free and BORN FREE. As a boy, our family has lost of a lot of beloved “Patsy’s on our farm due to Cobra’s and Puffadders which were all ploughed out in front of the dogs which loved to follow the plough behind the tractor, running in the forrow. The closest vets was 10miles away from us, in town. Many dogs, were buried on the farm in the midst of many tears. Do you expect me to love snakes, given my experience on the farm since I was born in 1949. Patsy is a true Jack Russel, body, mind and soul with her inborn instinct that only needs the opportunity, day or night, to impress me with her caring for me by doing her inspection zigzag movement out ahead of wherever I am going. Exersices by letting her run after tennisballs I through for as far as possible and throw the ball again when she returns it. To strengthen her neck I take a piece of rag or rope and let her take other end and shake it visciously. She decides when she wants to exersize by bringing the ball or piece of rope and place it at my feet so that I can join her on the lawn. When she’s had enough she would not return the ball, but go and drink some fresh coldwater to tell me that she needs to rest a bit. I love to talk about my ten year old Patsy and feel free to discuss it with you. Trained to do what? None

Patsy is a baddie!

While exciting to watch, I would never knowingly or willingly let my dog enter any situation like that. The dog would have been snatched up and put in the house. The snake would have met the business end of a shovel. I don't mess with venom.

 

[luvcatchingbass]

I agree with you KDM accept I would skip the shovel and probably just use a 12ga. I really don't like snakes though.

Based on the backyard I assumed an urban environment. Were it a rural situation...oh yeah...Bertha would've been called to action!!!!

I had a nephew move to texas and he took his dog to a trainer and had it snake proofed. if the dog smelled a snake he stopped and backed out of there, I hate snakes

I killed a cobra in Iraq with a shovel. Just remembered I killed a small king cobra with an E-tool in Saudi. Both worked fine. I don't have loose skin or commonly walk backwards but sometimes I'm a sleepy eff.

Don't have any idea what the owner is saying. But, I think he is a dips hit for encouraging such behavior.

Bad ass little dog but that thing would of gotten a 12ga to the head.

Saudi kill: (these pics aren't mine, they're representations of my shovel trophies)

 

[wildeyes]

I watch this video and wonder why would you not hold the dog back and put a shovel to the snake? I would have been worried the dog would get bit. I don't get it.

Pound for pound, Jack russels are the fiercest little SOBs with fur. My cousins had one that lived until he was 15 years old, and finally met his demise after eating a twist tie. This is a dog that picked fights (and usually won) with wildcats, raccoons, coyotes and all manner of vermin that inhabited Minnesota's north woods. Unbelievable critters.

 

[eyecatcher]

I would have moved.

I get the sense that Patsy kicks snake ass whether the owners are there or not. They can't always be there with a shovel - so they let her keep her technique honed. Obviously not Patsy's first rodeo - so I think they just enjoy the fact that the dog's got the skills/drive/technique and just let er buck.

I applaud their non-helicopter attitude. Galwhofishes would not dig it but I would be tempted to let my "working dog" do her thing like they do. I get the feeling their culture has not yet been as wussified as ours - my own life included. I often find myself feeling wistful that "safety first" has become so prominent in my life. There's something to be said about living with a little raw danger here/there IMO. Outlawing certain fireworks, forcing seatbelt usage, yada - they all make sense - but they also suck a little bit of life's juiciness out too. Hard to explain - maybe you had to have grown up in a time before we became safety/caution worshipers.

I was in KY for a horse sale many years ago. We bought a broodmare and went to load her. She had never been in a small trailer before only in semi trailers or box vans that they use down there. We messed around with her for over an hour. This was an inline 6 horse trailer. We we're loading her first because of the situation. She was to go all the way to the front. She would get half way in and then stop and go smoking backwards out the trailer. So after an hour this farm manager drives by (we were at the sales grounds) and sees the problem. Gets out with this jack russel and he walked over to the back of that horse and she just walked right on up in there like she had done it her whole life. She wasn't about to piss that dog off lol, she had been down that road before

I tend to agree.

I have a buddy that has a chiwawa, hate that little, yippy, snippy, barking, ankle nipper. I am hoping to kick that little fu*ker as hard as I can someday before it dies. He likes to chase and bark at my GSP, but as soon as my dog turns to play with it, the dog yelps as though it was hurt and my buddy yells and starts kicking at my dog.

Our little dog has learned you want to run with the big dogs you will get rolled some times. The labs are not mean at all but they are 80 plus pounds he is 15 he jumps up and goes and plays more and it seems the big dogs have a sense when he has had enough. The big dogs have accepted him as part of the pack. Another neighbor dog came over that is a fighter he snapped at the little dog we had a shit show ensue which ended with the neighbors dog running home with tail between his legs and the two big ones now dont let him get close to the little one. Picture me attempting to hold little dog break up fight and slipping on ice right in the middle of fight flat on my ass i think it was the combination of words i put together that scared the other dog off the most
