my german Shepherd dog . 4 and half month ...his  ears is can't stand up , and  has a problem in the back legs . can't walk  good . !!

At that age, the ears still may come up, so that is not a big concern yet, however, as for the other, is your pup severely angulated in the rear?  Do you have pictures?

in this pic he has 2.5 month . and what do u think about the legs ?

Hi, it is hard to tell in that pic.  A standing pic would be better, but, to be honest, I suspected he was a showline when I read your post.  The issues you are having are quite common in some showlines.  There have been quite a few other posts on this subject too, from other new puppy owners.

He has large heavy ear leather (which may need help to stand) and he  probably has loose ligaments in the rear, (amongst other things) which may strengthen and improve as he matures.
Hopefully other showline folks will chime in here and give you suggestions on how to help him, or to ease your fears.

Here is a thread that may help you:

thanks dear

Two things, Don't buy online unless you know the breeder,YOU GUYS DON'T LISTEN,IT HAPPENS HERE EVERYDAY.....I SUSPECTED it was a working line ,when I read your post. The issues you are having are quite common on some working lines. The truth is,you try to save money by buying where you did, NOW was it worth it ??? Good luck

Which workinglines are sloppy in the rear, and have soft ears?  Just curious.

 jdiaz, you say the buyer tried to save money by buying this pup and is now paying for it.  We do not know how much he paid, but pedigree is showline, and all dogs are titled, so, I was wondering why you implied this is not a good pedigree?  I do not know much about showlline pedigrees, and I'm sure the OP would be curious to hear also.

Wow...maybe I missed it, but I don't remember ever seeing anything awful being posted about Feetback kennels, jdiaz1791.  The breeding behind the pup in question certainly doesn't throw up any red flags that I can identify, either--was this someone who had contacted you about a pup, that you know the OP was 'trying to save money' (which, by the way, isn't a SIN, for heaven's sake--nobody wants to pay more than they need to for anything)? Frankly, I think it's INSANE to pay several thousand dollars for a living creature, no matter how well-bred the animal is--living things can get sick and die, get irrevocably injured and not be able to perform as you'd wanted, or develop a congenital condition that renders them unsuited for your initial plans, and NOBODY, no matter how experienced a breeder they are, can guarantee the animal they are selling you won't fall victim to any of these perils, even with an adult animal. There is nothing wrong with someone having a reasonable threshhold that they establish as to the maximum they can or will spend to purchase a dog, and I can cite just as many high-dollar dogs that have cost their owners far, far more in vet bills than an equal number of rescues of unknown background, or plain old pets of indiscriminate breeding from the neighbor's two dogs.

To the OP, can't comment on your pup's legs from the photo on the pedigree; if you can get some side-view pictures of him standing, and even better side-view pictures of him moving, that would make it easier for people to offer their opinions as to what may be happening with your pup's hindquarters.

The ear leather does appear to be rather heavy in his baby picture, and these will generally be slower to stand, plus he's not done growing, either.  I'd suggest you have an experienced GSD breeder look at the ears and see if they need additional support right now, or if you just need to give the pup lots of bones to chew to help strengthen the musculature of the skull which play a role in holding the ears erect.
