Introducing Chaco


Chaco
Originally uploaded by Farmer3
Chaco, no not the sandal although he does like to sleep on feet. Austrailian Sheepdog. AK certified, from a sire and dam (breeders language for mom and day) who were both working dogs on a large sheep farm. Red tri-color, which you would normally see as black and white, but this guys is the same type, just chocolate brown.

History of the Chaco from http://www.chaco.com/:
"Chaco Canyon was an important Anasazi (ancient Native American) cultural center from about 900 through 1130 AD. It was a meeting place, a market town, and the entire Anasazi empire radiated from Chaco, literally. Roads lead in straight lines out from Chaco Canyon in all directions. Chaco Canyon was the center of the world for the American Southwest. "

And now Chaco is the center of our world . . . all roads lead to Chaco . .

We love your dog and the name you chose. They are a good breed for farms, so I hear. We are both really happy for you Dan to have finished school. That is wonderful. We hope you are both having a great summer on the farm. What is your number because I have many CSA questions that need to be answered? I also met a guy that worked on the same farm as you in Mass. His name is David Greenberg, do you remember him?
