My baby is 5 months old and I was told he is a Pit Bull. I've had Pit Bulls my whole life. I know he is a Pit. I'm curious if he should be this size. He will be 6 months October 25th. He was the runt of the litter. The absolute smallest one. I'm not sure if he is supposed to be this size or if because he is the runt he may take longer to grow. Let me know what you all think!

What an adorable pup! He may end up being a smaller dog, I have had pitbulls my entire life and we have had some that vary in size. Not all of them turn out to be as big as the "mainstream" pits are now.
I hope this was helpful!
He looks exactly like my pit but hes lab and bull mastiff
If he is the runt of the litter he will always be smaller then his average breed.
He does seem somewhat skinny. We had the same issue with our dog. Turns out he was not dewormed when he was supposed to have been. They did it once as a puppy but never followed up before we got him. If a puppy has worms they eat alot but have a hard time gaining weight. They will often have a bloated belly and you may or may not see evidence of worms in their fecal matter.
To me he looks mixed with a beagle type dog. Look how his nose drops way down from the top of head.. And the shape. An also his little legs, look like the curvy little leg bones of a beagle or a basset hound. If you DNA test and he is not... I would get him checked for any type of dwarfism. Yes dogs can have that to. He looks like the size of a 3mth old pup. Most runts catch up pretty lucky, and or they end up being the biggest. Anyway it goes he is so cute. But it's good to know info, in case it is something medical.
I have a pit and some pits are the little ruts until about 2 years old and they fill out so great. Make sure you give them liver.
Thank you for all of you sharing your story I have a pitbull to and she was the runt of the litter. She was super small like they haven't feed her she gaining weight after I feed her a bowl of goat milk everyday bowl chicken, rice and pumpkin I also gave her slices of apples for snack. She also get dewormed once a month and now she the size of my other pitbulls
Your puppy's weight looks just fine. Many Pitbull owners think their dogs are too skinny. They won't start getting wide until they're over a year of age. However the first photograph looks like your puppy has an overbite that means his front teeth stick out past his bottom teeth.
Pit Bull size:
He looks the same size as my female! She refuses to eat her puppy food tho, she eats my 2 yr old males food
My 6 month old Staffordshire/red nose is about 75-80 pounds. White with brown spot. Friendly to everything. Always wanting to be loved and be funny. Even loves cats.
Well I have a pit just like this far as I can tell she's healthy but her size concerned me also being that slayer her brother is massive and same age
I know this is 5 years old but I was wondering if you ever figured out what your pup was? DNA? My girl looks exactly like you dog and they have no idea what she is (she is a rescue).
They could be mixed with Patterdale Terriers, as many people are trying to re-create the original pitbull small size and looks.
Either way, great dogs. Tiny is sometimes better =)
