Have you looked at California Natural Lamb and Ruc Puppy Food? They are also on the Whold Dog Food Journal list. My dogs are very active, muscular. My puppy girl Lizzie is now 11 months, her coat is thick/plush, and she is SOLID muscle. She runs a 100 ft. kennel run 4-5 hours 5 days a week. She s crated at night, loose in the house/outdie other times. May be worth looking into if you do not thik the food your vet recommended is good for show dogs.
