diet exersize and environment play a part.i have seen pups kept in a pen be smaller and feet/pasterns are weak vs free range pups in a large fenced area.
i give regular dog food and raw/cooked meats dairy ect. plus let the pups run about 1/4 acre fenced area my pups are always bigger then there littermates i give away to friends that are mostly kept in a wood floor pen and fed only dog food.
they live in the country runnin free for now so they are really healthy. they mostly get dog food but some raw meat every now and then. I want to post some pics of them but I cant figure out how
