Why is my 14-week French bulldog puppy pooping 6-7 times daily?

Question

My 14wk old French bulldog puppy is pooping a lot even though I am feeding the correct amount of food, he can go up to 6-7 times a day... Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 5 days old

Some puppies poop more often than others, but I agree that 6-7 times a day seems a bit excessive. The most common cause of issues like this in a puppy this age would be intestinal parasites - so I would recommend taking a fecal sample to your vet for analysis if this hasn't been done already. He/she can look at it under the microscope for evidence of worms like roundworms or hookworms, or other microscopic parasites like coccidia or giardia. If a problem is found, they can prescribe appropriate medication to treat it.
