I don't know anything about show dogs or what they eat, but I don't feed my pets pedigree, because I think there are foods with fewer fillers out there. I just bought a bag of food (can't recall the brand) that was salmon, salmon meal, and potato (I believe) as the first three ingredients. It was in a blue bag, but the name escapes me.
Sounds crazy, but a lot of show people feed crappy foods, especially if they have a lot of mouths to feed. I disagree with it, but it happens all the time...
As for the OP, I show my dogs and the foods I use/have used are Canidae, Innova, California Natural and Solid Gold. I also supplement with daily raw eggs and omega fatty acids...

If he's eating such a poor quality food right now, I would switch to a better food right away, but a simple formulation that contains ingredients he's already used to, such as California Natural Chicken & Rice Puppy or Canidae Chicken & Rice.
You can always switch to something more varied (multiple-protein etc.) later on, sticking to something simple is going to make the transition easier on your puppy though.
I would also suggest giving a good quality probiotic supplement right from the start to support a healthy digestive tract and build a strong immune system.

Honestly, our Sheltie breeder - who is EXTREMELY well known around here and other places feed her Shelties Purina which isn't as bad as pedigree, but still not a high class food or anything - she does also feed 10 little Sheltie mouths twice daily though hehe
She does feed suppliments when needed though - she is a very health cautious person as well. Our Shelties, when they first came home were on that as well until I switched them off of it.
