Is that good for him or not then? At the moment he's on James Wellbeloved and Nature Diet. Only this lady works for the company I think and gave it to my husband for us to try. If it's not good for him I'd rather not give it to him.
Protein 25%
Fat 10%
Ash 9.4%
Fibre 3.8%
Vitamin A 10000iu/kg
Vitamin D 1500iu/kg
Vitamin E (as alpha tocopherol) 165mg/kg
Copper (as cupric sulphate) 13mg/kg
that's the ingredients
That's actually the nutritional analysis of the ingredients -- the ingredients would list the type of meat(s) etc. 
Royal Canin's food for small breeds has 27% protein (their argument is that smaller breed dogs have a higher metabolism and need a higher protein food). So the protein level would be fine. Usually foods for working dogs would be higher in calories though as such dogs work off more calories.
I found their website and the ingredients are pretty mediocre though going by what they reveal (hey don't reveal very much!):
I'd want to know what those meats are, the cereals are, the 'bakery products' etc. 'Animal derivitives' is usually a low quality ingredient -- usually you want a single defined source -- eg chicken or lamb derivatives. Some don't like to feed derivatives. The cost will probably be an indication of the quality. I'd say James Wellbeloved is a much better food. But it is hard to make any judgement without a precise ingredients list.
They are also targetting this at working breeds, going by their pitch and the packaging -- working spaniels, retrievers,collies etc.

I was asked yesterday which commercial dried food is best for this breed but I'm afraid I was reluctant to advise as I am not familiar with them all, and tend to cook a balanced meal for Max at home and add a little mixer which was recommended by both breeder and vet. I was also asked how many cod liver oil one should give and also if Glucosamine is a good idea early on. I had to reccomend a vet as I just couldn't take the responsiblitly of giving that kind of advise without a wide knowldege of dog food to back it up.
