Reason: This is not a useful or coherent tag. This is herding_dog but more specific with unknown criteria. All herding dog breeds not currently included in sheepdog (australian_cattle_dog, bearded_collie, berger_blanc_sussie, berger_picard, bergamasco_shepherd, beauceron, german_shepherd, welsh_corgi) meet the definition of sheepdog as they have historically been associated with sheep. The definition of sheepdog also includes livestock_guardian_dogs, but no lgd breeds are implicated to it. It also includes czechoslovakian_wolfdog, presumably because of the breed's german shepherd (not a sheepdog on e6) heritage despite this breed not even being considered a herding breed.

Also some of these breeds should be implicated to other tags- malinois should imply belgian_shepherd for instance.
