Feed her a bunch to help her grow. She will still be skinny at a year old. My Pit did not to get filled out until about two years old. Then she got the big muscles and hard as a rock. Her face filled out with the massive jaw muscles. She looks like a killer but is the sweetest dog in the world. My 6 month old pit is growing in hight and is skinny. I know she will fill out as she grows, another year to a year and half.

If you knew anything about the breed, you'd know that they don't grow 'bulky' until around 1 1/2 - 2 yrs old. For the first year, it's more of height that's grown. Not 'width'. (This actually goes for MOST breeds).
Plus, did you look at the parents of your dog? APBTs vary in size, many are NOT big and bulky (if you wanted bulk, perhaps you should've considered a Staffy!) They're more 'bulky' than APBTs.

Pits are naturally thin pups and THICK adults! It will be more obvious when she is 6 months old and is tripping over her massive feet.
You do not want her to get fat, just built, I would put her on some nutri-cal and when she is full grown put her in some weight pull (this is why the massive pits have such amazing muscle tones).
I DO NOT however condone pit fighting in any form and hope you don't either.

You say you're married. Are you sure? Cause you spell like a fifth grader. I think the puppy is trying to become the alpha between her and the other dog. I suggest that you get BOTH the dog and puppy to a trainer. I also suggest for you to take some spelling lessons.

Seems to be a bit of doubt as to her age, 5 months or 1 year and 5 months or what? Purina Puppy chow....they have it for all ages.

I feel bad for your dog. Why is it up to you to decide what she looks like?
Keep her on a high end formula for her breed with a low ash content, and no by-products and give her time. You can harm her by trying to make her grow too fast. That type of breed usually starts to fill out when they are 10-15 months old.

Here's a website about the right exercise for pitbulls. Feeding her too much will just make her roly poly.

Feed a quality food (Canidae, Merricks, Wellness, or a raw diet). Provide lots of exercise. Your dog will be healthy. I hope you are not aiming to get her to an overweight stage that a lot of people think is correct for the pit bull. They are not meant to look like hippos.

It's genetics. If her parents aren't bulky, chances are she will not be, either. It will just make her fat.
As with any dog, you need to give proper exercise to keep them fit.
