Fails GNG. The only source for this page is one added by me in an attempt to improve it, David Hancock's Dogs of the shepherds: a review of the pastoral breeds (Marlborough: Crowood Press, 2014, ISBN 978-1-84797-809-7). Despite using the phrase "pastoral dog" in the book several times, Hancock usually says "pastoral breeds" or "shepherd's dog" and very definitely separates livestock guardian dogs and herding dogs throughout, really the book is about dogs used by shepherds across the world. I suspect the page was created because The Kennel Club has a "pastoral group" which encompasses both herding dogs and livestock guardian dogs. Cavalryman (talk) 06:55, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

• Delete. Fails WP:GNG and its meaning in the current source is not clearly defined. This article has remained a stub since it was created in 2006, it is not going to be developed further because there are no other WP:RELIABLE sources. William Harristalk 07:07, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
