Comment per
WP:COMMONNAME. My cursory search reveals that, in English sources, "Carea Leonés" is quite frequently used, also "Leonese Shepherd", "Leonese Sheepdog" and "Leonese Pastor". Which is the best, I don't know, but there are alternatives (one of which is to
stet). Certainly the link should blue, but if the common name in English is "Carea Leonés" then that is what we should call it.

Cmt Indeed! And what are the reliable English-language sources that use the proposed title? Are there more of them than of those that use the Spanish-language name?

Thanks for your guidance, and you are correct, the Spanish name is used more often than the English translation in English sources, therefore I am going to withdraw this move request. (At least we have achieved a secondary-sourced English name for the article.) William Harristalk21:07, 8 March 2020 (UTC)reply
