My 3-month-old puppy's poop is soft. Should it be more solid?

Question

We recently brought home a 9 wk. old white German Shepard. She is now 3 months old. Should her stool be more solid by now? The breeder sent some food with her which is Pedigree for puppies. We have had many dogs in our lives & I don't remember any of the puppies having stools like this. I have even started adding pumpkin to her food. Doesn't seem to have any affect. It's not runny but not hard either, somewhere in the middle. This makes it very hard to clean up. Welcome suggerstions. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 19 days old | 20 lbs

Yes Damara’s stoops should be more solid. I’m wondering if she’s had any deworming treatments. If not, intestinal worms could be the cause of her soft stool. I would bring a stool sample into the vet to check for worms. I hope this helps!
