Villages have shepherd homes but they appear to rarely spawn them.
This is observable by going into a superflat creative world and running the following command several times.
/place structure minecraft:village_*
Expected Result:
A village will sometimes have a shepherd.
Observed result:
A village rarely (almost never) has a shepherd.

This seems to work as intended, as @unknown said.
Update: Beside the fact that this could be intentional, I can confirm. I also was unable to find a source stating that this is intended, so for now I can confirm.
If you think this is intended, please provide a source of Mojang saying that shepherd houses should be rare.
I don't see how this would be a suggestion, assuming that shepherd houses are indeed very rare.
Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Won't Fix.
Please note that this is not the same as Working as Intended, as this bug report correctly describes behavior in the game that might not be the intended or desirable behavior, but it will not be fixed right now. Sometimes, this is because the issue reported is minor and/or impossible to change without large architectural changes to the code base.
