At what age should one switch from Puppy dog food to Adult dog food?

I normally haven't used puppy food but when I have I switched by 3 months or so. Once a puppy starts really eating I think the puppy food is too high in calories and the pup is likely to grow too fast or get too fat.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!

Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

We switch someplace around 6 months - or before if the bag runs out.

I start them on diamond puppy and generally will leave them on it until they are ready to go to individual feeding from group feeding. That may be three months, may be six. CR
There's a reason I like dogs better'n people
