I have 3 puppies which I will breed if all goes well. The male is 9 months old and the girls are 6 months old. They current eat Nutro puppy food. After some reseach, I have decided to switch to California Natural. The problem is I am now torn between puppy and adult food. If I am correct I have read that too much protein is bad for Yorkies. I have not read why too much protein is bad just that it is. This is how the two compare.(Lamb & Rice)

Puppy Adult
10% Moisture 9.5% Moisture
26% Protein 21% Protein
16% Fat 11% Fat
2.5% Fiber 4.5% Fiber

Which would you choose and why???

Thanks for all your help
