	Technical Report
		The focus of this report is on three particular breeds of larger dogs: German shepherds, border collies and Bernese mountain dogs and to explore which breed would be the best for families with children.
		Major health concerns for German shepherds include canine hip dysplasia., or CHD, (occurs when the thigh bone does not fit in the pelvic bone), and elbow dysplasia, which occurs when there is a loosening of bone and the elbow becomes detached (Coile 178).
		German shepherds are so often used for a variety of tasks that it is obvious that they are not a difficult breed to train, but may prove to be better as a guard dog than family dog.
