You should not feed a high protein diet to large or giant breed dogs because it causes rapid growth which could cause bone and development problems. You want your pup to grow slowly so lower protein is better. I feed shepherd pups Canidae, it is an all stage food so there is no need to change foods once the pup becomes an adult. It is also a holistic food with no by-products or fillers and it has 23% protein. http://www.newmanveterinary.com/large.
