Add that on top of the fact that most people use these dogs for family dogs, not realizing that out of boredom they'll begin trying to "herd" their children by nipping at their heels. Thats the main reason you'll find herding dogs on these lists. Collie's and heelers are notorious for this

And from my personal experience Akitas and Shar Pei's are some of the most stubborn dogs. Very hard to train, and once they establish dominance it's hard to bring them back to a submissive stage.
