Not being active is a valid concern that needs to be explored. Your breeder is the most obvious solution for that and should be first on your list, not last resort.
How much gas can you burn in an hour, anyway. So it might cost ten bucks to go see them, it's worth that for the information instead of from here where nobody can see your pup or know his family. Good thing you didn't import a pup...only an hour away....you're fortunate to have your breeder so close. Take advantage of that resource.

It's important and you can give up a week's worth of beer or whatever to make up the difference. Good luck.

Do you know what you are going to talk to the vet about? Simply asking about his size, compared to other GSDs and others in the litter is not much to go on. Not sure about the vets in Europe, but if I took that to a vet in the US.... I can vision the $$$ in their eyes and hundreds, if not thousands of dollars worth of tests later, you may or may not have an answer.
I am not saying a vet is not a good decision, I am just saying you need to give them something more to go on than "is he too small." Otherwise, unless you have a really trust worthy vet, you could be taken for a very expensive ride.

Fawn, he's going to visit the breeder of his male.

I personally think the male puppy is a bit on the leaner side but does look perfectly healthy for his age. I would not worry too much about over-feeding so that he will put on weight etc., since I believe a study done a while back showed that even the pups who ate less and grew up slower, did catch up (size-wise) with their brothers and sisters, when fully grown, unless there is a genetic predisposition to be a small dog.....but the ones who grew up slower, had a lower HD-predisposition, since their whole body had a chance to "catch-up" with the rest of the body parts, as the dog matured.
However, his being less active most of the time is not typical for this age, IMO.

If the breeder is close, I also agree with joan, give them a call. I would be pissed if someone that got a pup from me did not call me for help and suggestions.
I wish you the best with your pup. I would be very interested to hear their suggestions for your boy.
