Help finding "right" food for dogs

I have a problem with breeders being the full authority on foods. They really have no vested interest in using the best foods since the pups are for sale as soon as they are ready. I've also seen breeders using Iams, Eukanuba (and gasp Bil-Jac) as if that's the final word on formulas. Breeders are retailers. They are average people possessing no extra intelligence nor education in biology, biochemistry, nutrition and associated fields required for evaluating dog formulas.
