from the pic of him standing, he looks healthy and normal. Puppies go through growth spurts just like kids do. I'm waiting for Shasta's to hit. Some pups just put on weight faster than others but you also have to take into account parent size, whether he looks a healthy and like he should. many people on here will tell you that he looks just right for a pup his age. Is your vet experienced with shepherds? An experienced vet could give a better opinion as well. But as i said, he looks healthy and normal to me. Some pups are just bigger than others of the same age. Saw a 5 month old pup the other day who was huge!!! I swear he could have been 9-10 months old and he was in good body condition and weight. he's just a big boy. You have a good looking pup.
