MemberAh, this is great topic of conversation and quite a good bit of debate surrounding the issue.
The various studies that have been done imply that nutrition is an important aspect to a growing large breed puppy and can have signifcant impact the quality of his health later on.
The evidence (http://ivcjournal.com/feeding-large-breed-puppies/) suggests that we should not restrict protein from their diet since this play a huge role in lowering the risk of developing joint and arthritis including hip dysplasia later on in their life.
The second suggestion (http://ipupster.com/best-puppy-food-reviews/) as also purported by DFA is that excess calcium can now be linked to skeletal disease.
So the key-takeaway is to find commercial dog foods that are low in calories, are low in fats and have limited calcium.
With that mind, I think the best way to control these is to choose a raw food diet for our large breed puppies.
Dr. Becker at Mercola Pets has a great and detailed video (https://youtu.be/u9gbxLiKaJU) I also found helpful. A tad long but well worth the watch!

MemberCOSEQUIN DS seems to a popular choice with pet owners. This study is very enlightening if you want to take some time out and read: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5356289/

MemberAlways look at the first five ingredients. You want to see Good quality Protein, Complex Carbs and Vitamins/Minerals. Second look at the Gāteed Analysis ā you want to see high protein, low fat and low carbs. Next look at the calorie/cup. The higher it is the higher the fat content. Is the dog suitable for your dogās age? Is there anything within the ingredients to suggest sub-quality foods, additives and other fillers?
There is some other great advice given in the thread to help you out make the best decision for your pet.

MemberPuppy food is designed for growing pups and the food was designed with them in mind (meeting AAFCOās nutrient profile criteria for dogs in the growth). These foods generally contain higher fat & proteins than food targeted at adult or senior dogs.
Your best bet is to feed your dog āadult foodā since these foods take into consideration your dogās age, calorie requirement etc.
