My puppy isn't growing. Is his slow growth a cause for concern?

Hi, my puppy doesnt seem to be growing at the rate he should. Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 18 days old | 25 lbs

That's not good! There could be a congenital reason why Copper isn't growing like he should, or it could be that he has a medical problem like intestinal worms limiting his growth. I'd take him into a vet for a heath check. Best of luck.
