Take your dog to the vet so that the vet can recommend a good brand that would fit your dog's nutritional requirement. Also, I would suggest feeding raw as that helps promote good digestion.

You read so has a vet actually ruled out a medical problem with this puppy?
What food was he on with the breeder you got him from ?
How long has this been going on ,and did the breeder have any problems like this .
Its not the best brand to feed but before you worry about changing his diet get him vet checked first .
Usually you should keep a new puppy on the food he's been used to eating - switching without doing it gradually over some days, if not weeks, can cause an upset digestive system. If this puppy was like this from day one, then he should never have left his breeder - and best I can advise you is you take him straight to your vet for a health check (taking a sample of his stool with you to be checked). This is best practice, within the first 48 hours of bringing a puppy home. If he was like this from when you first got him, his breeder should have known, and got him right before letting you take him.
However, stress, and if you've already given him something different, could have caused all this. Good breeders will give you a diet sheet and a small supply of the food she's used, or at least told you what she uses so you could get the same in.
Iams may be fine for your particular dog - lots of food gets a bad press, often because it doesn't suit that particular dog. So I'd not be overly quick to switch to another make. And certainly not if he's already producing abnormal stools. However, having said that, if it's just about the number of times he's emptying, then yes, some food is bulked up with cereals, which produce too much outflow, even if 'normal'. If this is the case and it's not diarrhoea, I'd suggest you might, once he's cleared health-wise and more settled in with you, start him on a mix of something new plus the old. I can, in the UK? recommend Burns or Arden Grange. Not the cheapest, but what you spend on a good quality food, you won't be spending with the vet.
Puppies on 3 - 4 meals a day should have a BM as many times, perhaps plus one. What goes in has to come out so with puppies, you are bound to see more than with an adult, on 2 meals a day only.
