That weight is not the average for a 5+ week old Gsd puppy.
Average weight is 9.5 lbs.
Maybe your Gsd pup is the runt of the litter.
Have you got access to view his litter mates and see how big they are?
Or are you certain your pup is 100% Gsd? He may be a cross bred pup. Just going on what you have posted.

That is too small in my opinion. At that age he should be around 9lbs.

I have had german shepherds but a litter of golden retrievers and most of those were close to 15lbs at that age
