Puppy Protein Requirments

I have a lab/chow mix and she is about 6 months old and right now she is on Blue Buffalo Chicken and Rice recipe, which has 26% protein. The reason I am saying this is it seems to be giving her the runs she has been on it for a month or two and some days her poop will be pretty firm and other days it won't. She has been to the vet everything checks out well so it has to be the food.

So I don't know if I should switch foods and see if that helps or not. If so should I stick with something close to 26% protein or would it be ok to go a little higher? I know a lot of the good foods EVO, Wellness (the ones I am thinking of switching too) have protein levels higher then 26% and I have read that too much protein for a puppy can lead to musculoskeletal disorders because if I understand all that I have read it will make them grow faster then they should.

So would someone mind giving me some advice on what I should do?
