Dry food brands?

hi, getting a puppy soon and i'm curious as to what to feed him.

i've read that a lot of the commercial brands have inexcusable ingredients such as meal from rendering plants and things dogs can't digest like corn, certain grains, ect.

i've heard the more expensive brands like Royal Canin are really good for dogs, because they provide balanced nutrition without indigestible fillers, is this true?

i'm worried, probably as any owner would be, about the effects of these brands on my future pup's health, and would like recommendations on diet.

Two other questions: NuVet comes highly recommended from the breeder i'm buying from(respectable). i'm curious as to others thoughts on this supplement.

lastly, i've heard to keep dogs on puppy chow for their first year, is this correct?

Thanks!:)

My breeder gave me some samples of the NuVet when I picked up my puppy. I gave her the supplements until they ran out and never gave them to her after. My dog has a healthy coat, good drive, appetite is good, and she is very healthy. I might give her a supplement later on...but not right now. Nothing bad to say about.
