Ok I admit it

You can compare foods/brands at  the dogfoodproject.com site.   This site has lots of good info on how to read/interpret labels and compare ingredients.

I want meat and meat meal (and a specified meat and meal) as ingredients number 1 and 2

Thank you both for your replies the more I read however the more I think Orijen is going to be my dogs new food.

I have read good things about it.  Hopefully it is easily available for you.

Have you tried a "limited ingredient" diet?  My dogs all do best on this.  The one I use now (California Natural Lamb and Rice) does contain grain (the rice) but there's just lamb and rice, and a few other minerals/preservatives.  I've tried grain free diets as well but often they contain so many different meats and other ingredients it doesn't settle well even if it is grain free.  Part of it may be that GSDs are prone to digestive issues.  I've had the best luck with California Natural "limited ingredient" diets.  There are three or four choices and I've used them all.  The Lamb and Rice is my favorite because the chicken one sometimes gives the dogs gas.

Yeah the problem there is again the rice is a grain and Bianica seems to get reactions to ALL grains so I will be feeding them the Orijen probably going to go with the 6 fish varity

 Orijen is one of Murphy's food in our rotation. He LOVES it!

 There's also the Natural Balance limited ingredient diets. All but the lamb are grain free. There's chicken and sweet potato, venison and sweet potato, duck and potato, sweet potato and fish, and I think a bison formula. All grain free, simple, moderate foods, if the Orijen doesn't work for you.

 Fromm has a grain-free Surf 'N Turf, which Ole and Sofie ate for a long time.

I'm currently feeding Taste of the Wild Prairie grain-free because I'm poor and they needed a switch. I don't trust Diamond but gosh darn, Sofie really does well on this food. Lamb doesn't agree with Sofie's digestive system, btw, which leaves us beef, salmon, etc.

 Ole, on the other hand, needs a food with some carb in it. Go figure. I'll probably put him on Fromm Duck and Potato or Eagle Pack.

I have Kord on the Natural Balance Bison, he is doing very well on it.

I luckily do have a store that sells both Acana and Orijen near by (I think it's harder to find a parking space than to buy it actually) However it is a bit pricey so I am thinking that I should switch there food slowly up to the quality of Orijen. I would try blue buffalo but well it has grains as well So I think I will do some more research.

Acana Pacifica is grain free and very good for my PWD's digestion. I use them to stuff her kong and as traning treats.  (she prefers them to cooked chicken or beef!)

It's less costly than Orijen but made by the same company.

I also liked PetGuard Lifespan, but it's gotten pricey lately.

FWIW, I transitioned my guys from Natural Balance LID to Orijen with no problems.  Orijen is much higher protein than NB, and even Harry, my guy with a very sensitive tummy, had no issues at all during and after the transition.  They've been on Orijen for about a year and a half now and I am thrilled with how they are doing on it.

If cost is an issue (yes, Orijen is pretty pricey), you could try one of the Acana grain-frees.  They're made by the same company, as somone already mentioned, but aren't as expensive.  I pay $58 for the 29.7 lb bag of Orijen Adult (the chicken one, not the fish), and my 55 lbs boys each get 1 cup twice a day (2 cups a day each) to maintain a good weight, and a bag lasts me about a month between my 2 dogs.  They were getting 1.5 cups per feeding (so 3 cups a day each) of NB, so while a bag is more expensive, you feed less, so it lasts longer.

I wanted to highlight what you write Liesje. Limited ingredients, indeed. Some of the holistic foods are so full of a bunch things. And they might even do well with small breeds that can't eat much at one time. One of my challenges for Shadow is his Siberian Husky metabolism. It came about through thousands of years of being the fastest sled dog ever on not very much food. Consequently, the Siberian does best on a very simple diet. Too much stuff, I think, would stress his system. I once tried him on Innova, long considered the king or queen of dog foods and I know it's a good food. But it messed with his immune system. So, I had kept him on Nutro for quite some time because it was a basic and simple food that worked so well for him. Then, Nutro got sold to Mars and like any corporate giant, they couldn't resist messing with something that already worked. When they started making his old formula again, I put him back on it only to find his coat drying and I had to add Missing Link. Anyway, I think any dog should be started on simple food, if possible. For one thing, in the event of food allergies (not always common) or immune system responses (I think more common), it is easier to eliminate the problems.
