I'm not familar with Call of the Wild, but for Blue Wilderness it says,

The only caution we would make on this food is that the high protein content may make it suitable for adult dogs only, particularly in the case of large breeds.

So this means that it shouldn't be used for puppies, especially large breed puppies.
I really prefer a food that is recommended for a specific breed. I think that different breeds do better on different diets. For example, some active breeds might do better with more protein than a more sedimentary dog. Giving the same diet to an extreme athlete, and a couch potato doesn't make sense to me. This was the primary reservation I had with Blue Wilderness. I also take into account the "snacks" I give Joey, and I use to give him more liver treats, and occasionally chicken, which upped his total protein, I now give him more green beans and no supplemental protein, so I thought this would be OK. However, I don't really know the "ideal' protein count for Yorkies.
