Just like other Americans, the Navajo people have pets. Cats and dogs are popular. People also keep and have kept, for hundreds of years, dogs as working animals to herd sheep. The Navajo have had sheep since at least the 1600's, perhaps as early as the 1540's.
Sometime after 1540 when Coronado brought many sheep to what is now New Mexico. Or after 1598 when Juan de Onate brought 3,600. They probably got those through treading, raids and wandering or abandoned sheep. They probably got a lot more in the aftermath of the Pueblo Revolt in 1680 when the Spanish were forced out and left behind all their livestock.
