I'd say nearer a kilo for the main meal, and bits and pieces throughout the day.

She's 26" and around 60 lb, at 6 1/2 month, so I feed her as much as she wants and just let her be a pup.

The serious work will start when she's around 8/9 months. 

Cheers.

big pup mate she can trounce the grub as big and heavier then me dog

When you say you give them lamb ribs and other treats is this on a daily basis and part of their main diet or is it just a once a week thing? 

Daily basis. If I haven't got the ribs I just buy a kilo of raw chicken wings from Aldi or asda , £1.50. Also been getting sheep and deer feet, keeps them occupied when lying in the kennel.

Cheers.

Doesn't boiling it defeat the purpose though mate? 

I suppose the kibble has back up ensures they are getting all the nourishment. 

purpose for me is to get some meat into the dog mate

I feed a raw diet to adult dogs.I do not feed raw to pups.My pups eat the best puppy kibble i can find.Pups need a calcium phosphorus  ratio of 2:1 where most adult dogs need a 1:1 ratio.I have seen a few people damage pups unknowingly.In my opinion  a proper raw diet is the best but its too easy to get it wrong with a pup in my opinion. 

This is my current feed for my terriers.

Day one

12oz chicken leg quarter(Calcium,calories)

2 oz pinksalmon(vitaminD,omega3)

1 medium egg(vitamind,k,e)

Day 2

2oz chicken feet (calcium)

4 oz chicken gizzards(protein)

4 oz chicken heart (iron,)

1 oz beef liver(copper)

1oz oyster (zinc)

2oz pink salmon (vitamind,omega3)

1 medium egg 

The only way a dog can absorb calcium is if he has adequate vitamin d.

My zinc to copper is 1:9 which is considered correct. 

My omega 3 to omega 6 fat ratio is 1:6 which is well balanced.

Calcium phosphorous is 1.1:1 which is to low for a pup.

I add wheat germ for a carb souce and a little spinach as my raw diet is low in manganese,magnesium  and vitamin e.

I try to follow the sleddog formula which is 

90 grams of protein 36% of calories

60 grams of fat  54% of calories

25 grams of carbs 10% of calories

Per 1,000 calories.

 

I would highly recommend  studying  every vitamin and mineral in your raw diet before giving to a puppy.Just my opinion.

That's what I would be worried about, getting it wrong and ending up worse off than just giving the pup kibble. 

I suppose mixing kibble and raw will be fine, but then I've read that can upset their digestive system.

If I'm working an adult terrier hard I add some kibble to maintain weight as my raw diet cost a fortune.The kibble doesn't upset an adult dogs stomach but it does dehydrate them from the carbs.I have tried for years to work out a balanced raw pup formula but I haven't accomplished it.

Think with meat and biscuits plus leftovers, tins of fish etc etc you've got everything covered. All sorts of dogs are fed on the two mixed

You feed this kibble to both your puppies and adults?
