She is a puppy, so I wouldn't be overly concerned. Puppies are small and have fast metabolisms because they are growing rapidly, so they need more food than an adult and they tend to eliminate more than an adult.

My Teddy is now 2 years old, but he is a skinny boy with a very fast metabolism. He eats the same amount of food as his brother, who is 1.5 pounds bigger. Teddy usually poops 3 times a day.

The important thing is that the poop is firm. If it is soft or runny at all, then you might be overfeeding or feeding the wrong thing. Consult your vet if you have concerns.
