As I did not see your initial question I'm not sure what you asked. However protein requirements for dogs depends greatly on their age, activity level, and sexual status. You have Cherry listed as a female spayed dog, and if she's an adult she'll likely need less protein than a puppy. If she's active such as a hunting or other working dog, a higher protein amount is needed to help keep her muscles in shape. Pet Education has a great little chart regarding protein needs that may be helpful for you: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=2+1659&aid=702
