A female shepherd is typically referred to as a "shepherdess." This term is used to denote a woman who herds and tends to sheep. In modern contexts, the gender-neutral term "shepherd" is often used for both males and females.
Linguistically speaking, "shepherd" is a noun and it has no opposite.The opposite gender (not often used) is shepherdess (female shepherd).The opposite of the verb to shepherd could be to desert or to neglect.Metaphorically, the opposite of "shepherd" would be "sheep". This compares a person who acts like a leader to a person who acts like a follower. The word "sheep" sometimes implies that a person follows others because he/she does not have the judgment to make a decision by him/herself.
Every single breed, in fact every single mammal on this earth has both male and female of each gender. You don't have all male dogs being a German Shepherd and no other breed or else they'll all be extinct.
