Life with the Pack: The Ranch Dogs of Rancho La Media Luna

Monday is a rescued dog we found tangled up in ranch fencing. She was in a horrible shape, basically just bones and fur, scaried, her collar was a piece of a choke chain and a piece of barbwire. Lunes is her daughter. We will write down her story on the La Media Luna subdomain.
Nestled in the serene landscapes of San Felipe del Progreso, Rancho La Media Luna, a section of Rancho El Ojo de Agua which again is a part of the former hacienda La Obra (we still investigate on the historical background and the name may be corrected) is more than just a picturesque ranch - it's a haven where the bond between humans and dogs thrives. The ranch dogs here are not only guardians of the land but also cherished members of the family, each with their own unique story and role in daily ranch life.

Guardians of the Land

At Rancho La Media Luna, the dogs serve as vigilant protectors, watching over the livestock and the vast expanse of the ranch. Their keen senses and unwavering loyalty ensure the safety of the animals and the smooth operation of the ranch. Whether herding cattle or alerting to potential intruders, these dogs are indispensable to the ranch's daily functions.
 

Companions and Family

Beyond their duties, the ranch dogs are beloved companions. They accompany the ranchers on their daily routines, offering both assistance and camaraderie. Their presence brings joy and comfort, embodying the deep connection between humans and animals that is central to life at Rancho La Media Luna.


 

Training and Care

The ranch places a strong emphasis on the well-being and training of its dogs. From an early age, puppies are nurtured and taught the skills necessary for ranch life.

A Legacy of Loyalty

The stories of the ranch dogs are woven into the fabric of Rancho La Media Luna's history. Tales of bravery, loyalty, and companionship are passed down through generations, highlighting the integral role these animals play in the ranch's legacy.
