Answer
Does your vet have any ideas?  Perhaps a second vet.  Unfortunately even those that pride themselves on being a reputable breeder use dogs with food sensitivities as breeding stock.  Whoever you got the dog from might be able to suggest a chow that would work.  Otherwise, you just have to try some at random.  

I view breeding dogs with food sensitivities and allergies as unnecessary and inexcusable.  I certainly don't see anmy of it inthe service dog programs I am a part of.
