May just going to be a small dog.I like to weigh my dogs.Especially for their wormings.I had a 3 1/2 month old once that weighed 11 lb.Ended up being 52 lb adult weight.

Are you feeding him a good puppy food and enough rations of it.Will surely stunt growth if not.

I would use a good tapewormer, most states you can only get tape worm wormers direcrtly from the vet. Your other wormers will not kill tapes and tapeworms can definately stunt growth.

I don't think under feeding will stunt growth. Dogs are genetically programmed to reach a certain size and if they stay alive, they'll get there eventually. They can be delayed. I expect your hound will have a growing spurt starting about now.

Born in the summer .Hot weather on a pup will slow their growth.Keep pup wormed and fed a good quality feed and pup should grow off like expected
