Default doberman size - NUTRITION

I have a three year old male doberman. He is smaller than other dobermans (less muscular, more lanky than lean).

Should I be changing his diet? Should I feed him something that has higher protein; I feed him hollistic blend which has 22% protein right now.

What do you guys think ?

ps. I'm happy how he looks (he is very healthy). I'm just curious if there is a way to make him look more lean-muscular.

Thank you

Yeah, high protein will improve his built. Dobermans gain weight rapidly during the puppy stage, but they tend to level out around 90-110 lbs.

Yes put him on a higher protein diet like evo, instinct or orijen. itll help bulk him up and give him proper nuitrition in my opinion 22% protein is not enough for any dog.
