When feeding raw it is important to know exactly what the different types of meat, offal etc contain. A lot of people say that raw doesn't suit their dogs, but it is sometimes because they aren't adding enough fat to the diet. I have one bitch who needs a lot of extra fat in her diet: she gets a good lump of hard lamb or beef fat added to the raw meat and carcases.

Also, the minced tripe for sale generally has most of the fat cut out: nowhere near as good as buying whole tripes and cutting them into chunks, fat and all.

Some types of lurcher do need more carbs: especially the Saluki types. Rice, pasta, bread can be added.

Spot on Penny I feed mine meat from game that has been caght or shot I also buy various minced meat pre packed in bulk and I throw a handfull of a good quality dry dog food in with it .....but in the winter when they are working I also add lard .

When I was a stalker many years a go I fed my dogs on a dry meal through out the summer then when we started the stags and hinds the dogs were fed the tripe the legs and heads of the beasts we shot then back onto dry food after the season had finished ...the differance in the dogs whole wellbeing when they were on the meat was enough to convince my to what I will always feed my dogs on now

I cook meat that needs cooking but good quality fresh stuff should be fine raw.

When we get our new pup we will be feeding a good quality puppy complete dry food and then introducing half a chicken wing at a time until it's stomach acid has built up enough to handle less dry food and more bones. Our flat coats are mostly on a bone diet (free from our local butcher) but we do supplement this with a good quality dry food (Proplan) depending on how easy they are going to the toilet. It's about finding a good balance which suits your dogs digestive system, some dogs will be fine on 100% bones while others won't. Our older dog struggles to go to toilet after a few days on bones, whilst the younger one is fine, every dog is different.

Why not get some good quality mince meat? Mined carcass and minced beef and feed if you don't want to feed chicken wings so early on?

 

Although my pup was eating chicken wings at 6 weeks and whole rabbits at 8 weeks.

You should never feed just bones: bones should make up no more than 20-30% of the total diet, or the dog gets constipated, not to mention getting an imbalance in nutrients. Best way to feed bones is to use chicken or rabbit carcases, adding a lamb rib or substituting breast of lamb including the ribs from time to time. Large animal leg bones are too hard for dogs and they are liable to break their teeth cracking them open, as well as sometimes causing splinters. Rabbit and chicken leg bones are fine, or very young lamb, but anything the size of a sheep, pig or cow, or deer (very hard bones in deer leg bones) should be avoided.

I feed a predominately raw meat and bone diet, and with a puppy, its started as soon as possible, they thrive on it. Keep the diet varied, do some research and you wont go far wrong.
I have never fed a complete diet to my dogs in my life

Just as important as the meat and bone intake is the vegetable matter intake.
