Hi Levi and welcome to the site. Congratulations on your new adventure, you're going to love it. Typically we have more questions than you do to begin with so tell us as much as you can. How long have you had "what's-his-name", did the breeder tell you he'd dewormed him every week? Have you had him checked for worms when you got him? Did you get all his very latest medical certs when you received him. Is he on the same food the breeder had him on, what is it? How much is he eating per day? What does he weigh? Some photos will be good. Where did you get him,? Has he got papers? How is his stool, how often? Is he really energetic? Give us the scoop and we'll see if we can help you understand the possibilities. Perhaps he was just the runt and you can make up for it in his first six months.
As I said, welcome to the wonderful BULLIE World!

He looks great! Feed him and run him and he will grow.  I believe all TOTW is grain free, make sure you have him on the Puppy Formula. (I'd do High Prairie rather than Pacific Stream) Try adding their canned food (here you could use the Pacific Stream) two large tablespoons per meal. It's important (for both of you) to get him to do some heavy exercise, space to run, as soon as you can to get him accustomed to a daily workout.  You might want to try adding gelatin to his food until you see those ears come up.... if they don't by the time he is 20 weeks you should try taping them.

Levi

Thanks you so much!
He's getting this one

I will now get him the canned food
the canned food Comes in a puppies formula?

Levi

Any recommendation for training and workout?he doesn't really like to run much this little one

philsergeant

That's why I asked whether you had him to the vet for a full check over.... At that age the opposite should be true... You should be chasing him all around the garden or house....
Yes that's the right TOTW, and the canned comes in "all ages" from TOTW... U can get other brand GF cans that are specifically for pups.

He looks great!

I agree with Phil. Get him to the Vet and get a complete health check. You never know he could have worms which will mess with his growth. However, it could be that he's just smaller than his siblings.  Give him some time. He'll go through a growth spurt and may very well surpass his siblings.

Thank you guys really!
I toke him to the vet every thing was just fine he got all his sots from the breedre
His an akc bull terrier I got his 4 generations papers
Thank for the help i will put some work with him about runing and working out
