I have owned three different German sheperd females from puppy age on.

It depends on where you live. Dwyer's Dollhouse and Hallmark sell them. I live in New England, so where you live might not have these stores.

Who will win in a fight between a german shepherd and a crocodile?

A pitbull was/is bred for fighting,have fighting abilities, offense and defense and knows how to kill a dog no matter the size. A cane corso may have been a fighting dog in the past but not bred for it. A 70lb. GAME pitbull would kill a 150lb. cane corso or have the cane corso disabled and ready to be killed within 10 minutes because of the GAME pitbull's instincts for fighting and their adrenaline rush allows them to ignore pain in a fight. If you put a bigger corso on the GAMEDOG the gamedog automatically knows how to control the action and stay out of trouble from being bit down. A pitbull knows where to bite(the muzzle or nose,the nuts or stifle) and have instinctual genetic fighting skills not to mention natural stamina, where as a cane corso being so large would get tired in 5-10minutes and aren't genetically bred to take bone crushing biting power like the Game bred APBT. It would be like Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs howard stern.

When do you know your dog has hip displasia?

A vet will always check the dogs hips when in for their regularcheckup. The vet can tell. You will notice the dog is not walking or running the same. If it is bad the dog may loose it's balance when turning and struggle when getting in and out of a dog house steps etc. They will not be able to run as fast and may wine if in pain. I have had two dogs with it and they couldn't even get in my truck as it progressed.
