I strongly recommend you get a fll assessment by your vet as soon as possible, as he is stll growing joint issues such as hp dysplasia or knee problems would be a major concern and the sooner they are identified and managed the less risk of long term lameness and discomfort - hip xrays may be recommended to assess fully. Ensure he is on a well balanced, large breed puppy food and consider adding a joint supplement also, I would walk no further than 15minutes at a tme until this has been fully checked in order to prevent further damage
