[rawfeeding] New puppy, transitioning to raw

Hello everyone!
I will be getting a Mini Aussie puppy, should be about 16-17 inches
according to his breeder, in a little over a week. He is my first dog
(not counting the dog I grew up with, since I didn't raise him myself)
and since I long ago decided to raise him naturally (raw fed and
minimum vaccinations if any) I have a lot of questions. There is so
much more information and propaganda out there in favor of kibble,
it's hard to get a sense of exactly how to start him on his new diet,
how much of what he should be getting etc. So help would be
appreciated!!!

My understanding is that, at least as a puppy he should be getting
about 10% of his body weight a day, is that correct? Also, I
understand it's important to include organ meat in his diet, is there
a particular percentage that is recommended? And finally, does anyone
have suggestions for getting cheap dog-friendly meat? I was
considering contacting a local butcher, but other ideas are welcome as
well!
