She seems to be having too many! She eats Wellness Puppy Super5Mix according to directions on the product package. She is fed twice a day, early morning and late afternoon. (No other food) I take her in the backyard often to potty. She has bowel movements frequently during the day.
I'm not sure whether the problem is that I am taking her outside too frequently or whether this is not a good food for her?
How often should a five-month-old puppy need to eliminate?

Another concern is that she has always been able to hold her bladder a very long time! (She has water available at all times.)

Based on my experience in raising a few dogs and a litter,
I would think that they should go no more than twice a day.
Usually within a half hour after eating. Now if a puppy were
to nibble off and on during the day on kibbles that were always down, then I could understand his need to go. Well at
least he's not constipated. And that would require a vet bill.
I wouldn't worry at this point, unless his stool changes in color
or he gets diaheria. Just remember to praise him when he
goes outside, to reinforce that he continues to go outside
and not in on the rugs.

Maybe she has a bladder problem, I take my puppy out like only 3 times a day and he has the potty mats and he goes about 6 times a day, take him to the vet and see if its the food maybe or a bladder problem, I use the Science Diet food and it seems to work really well...

Puppy's poop a lot, They have very small innards and they evacuate more than older dogs. unless it has runny or bloody stools don't worry, your dog will regulate itself as it grows.
