There are no dogs mentioned, either LGDs or herding dogs, in the article. But since LGDs frequently accompany flocks, I'm including it because it's information about the ancient and modern practice of sheep trailing. Also, tourists can watch and even participate in some sheep trailing. See the end of the video for links.

About the family of Livestock Guardian Dogs...
“To this day flocks are guarded in the hills of Asia, Europe and Africa* by powerful, robust dogs that are neither clumsy nor pacific. Despite the distances that separate them these breeds have much in common, and the Kuvasz is a member of this extended sheepdog family.”
From: Dr. Buzády Tibor, Dogs of Hungary, trans. Bernard Adams, Budapest, Hungary: Nóra Kiadó, 2002, p. 90.
*There are LGDs protecting flocks nowadays also in Australia, North America and South America.
