I've never fed puppy food to my dogs very long at all... MAYBE to around 3 months of age they might get a good quality puppy food... or when weaning a litter, but usually by 3 months of age they are switched to a good quality adult food - which is Canidae. I tell the owners when they are taking their puppy home the samething as well. I usually don't let puppies (pet or show) go till atleast 12wks of age anyway, so they are typically already on adult food, but I tell them to keep feeding a good quality adult food (canidae if possible), don't put them on puppy food.

I have Collies of course, as adults usually weighing between 55-75lbs, so I don't want them to grow to fast and get to gangly looking.
