he wont be building muscle for several months he is a puppy that is built like a puppy let him be one

At 9 months old, he's not even like a teenager yet in his maturity. He just isn't old enough to have the type of muscles you're describing.

Thanks for the replies i will wait but how old should he be?

[Judi W]

Minimum of 2 1/2 but he might be 3 or more before he bodies out.

As others have said, it's gonna take time...and it's going to get worse before it gets better. I adopted both my rotties when they were about 18 months old. And at that age, they had huge heads, huge feet, long legs and skinny rat bodies...rather like that of a 14 year old kid. About nine months to a year later their chests started to really fill out, and by the time they were three or so everything was in proportion and gorgeous. But just as with people, they definately go through a gawky adolescent stage.
