Chicken herding dog?

It's a little late but a magazine called Chickens has an article on training a dog to herd chickens including a list of dogs that work best. It's a long process though, training the dog not to get overly excited, and herding chickens isn't like herding sheep the dog doesn't really run. I can't find a a copy on the internet though.
 
I know chickens go roost at night, but I was thinking about having them free-range in our small garden only with my supervision, so they'd need to go back into the coop whenever I had to leave. Would a dog be able to help with that? I was reading that Havanese dogs were bred to herd poultry--anyone know about this?
