So, I have an idea. You see, I am working for a charity that is building a library in Liberia (which seems oddly fitting, Lib, lib... nevermind), and I've been doing some research on the history of Liberia, their 10 year civil war, the child soldiers, their current corrupt government... Anyway, the civil war has bombed Liberia back into the pre-industrial age: agriculture, that kind of thing, and riddled their ground with landmines. So, my idea, very simply, is to solve both problems in one fantastic breed: the Belgian Malinois. Belgian Malinois are a short coated, herding breed with dual guardian and scenting characteristics. Belgian Malinois can be taught to scent for land mines as well as being taught to herd livestock. So, the process is as follows:

Step 1: Breed and train dual championship scenting and herding belgians
Step 2: (which could be done concurrently with step 1, depending on what kind of help I could get from trainers), train Liberians to breed and train dual championship scenting and herding belgians.
Step 3: Make Liberia known for having the highest quality Belgian Malinois IN THE WORLD! Thus, in part, engendering national pride for their nation. :D

Maybe they could become known as "Liberian Malinois".

Did you know that they can train rats to find landmines?
