1.  You must always remember to keep your dogs diet balanced.  If the diet is not balanced, it goes from the best food to feed, to not so good at all.  If there are no vitamins or minerals (especially calcium) in the diet, dogs run into deficiencies very quickly.  Especially in young dogs, it can happen in just a few months.  For this reason, many vets dont believe in home made puppy food. 
2.  Meat Choices:  The base ingredient for making your own dog food is some form of meat, whether its raw or cooked.  Puppies are carnivores, and will do well on a diet based on meat.  The meat can be whatever is available, turkey, chicken, venison, beef or pork among others.  Be sure the meat is fresh and fit for you to eat yourself.  The fat content should be no over 15-20%.  Fish is good, just not as the main component. 
3.  Veggies:  Veggies should really be about about 1/4 of the meal and provide vitamins, minerals and fiber.  The vegetables will be of more help if they have been steamed abd then chopped or pureed Use vegetables like pumpkin, peas, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potato, green beans and carrots.  Vegetables to avoid:  onion, , tomato, bell peppers, spinach, , beet greens, leeks and chard. 
4.  Your dog does not require carbs. Dogs  use fat from the diet to create the glucose they need.  Carbs are  the main cause of many canine diseases, including obesity, inflammitory bowel disease, kidney disease and allergies.  Carbs are used in commercialized puppy foods to help keep costs down, but are not needed.
