Puppy doing too much poo?

I have a 4 month old border terrier and I have fed her Alpha sporting puppy food as used by the breeder. She eats it very well so no problem there. I am giving her 120g a day which is at the lower end of the recommendation. She is however doing about 7-8 poos a day. I have read up about this and it seems that a change of food to a better quality food but need help with which one. Wainwrights, james Wellbeloved, Harringtons? Or they all similar? It seems to be about the amount of "filler" in the food. Advice welcome.

I have set filters to your details if they copied ok. Do not overfeed your puppy.

There are 7 pages of results at 20 to the page. See if you recognize names you can buy locally.

Choose a food that has a high percentage of meat content and no fillers like cereal, beet pulp etc.

The website quoted above will give you ratings for each food- the higher the rating the better.

Do the poops look and smell well formed/ normal/ healthy? If you are at all unsure take the puppy and one of their poops to your veterinarian.
