Blance of nutrition in a Homemade Dog diet?

I am researching ways to create a nutritionally balanced homemade diet for dogs. I am researching homemade diets and raw diets. Do any of you make homemade dog food? Where did you come up with your nutrition balance? Can you list some websites that tell what a good nutrition balance is for homemade dog food?

It does depend on the breed and their activities.

For my sighthounds, I use a combination of the following:

-cooked ground beef
-cooked ground turkey
-hard-boiled eggs
-plain yogurt
-salmon oil
-Nature's Kitchen Preference dehydrated dog food supplement.

We used to use regular turkey meat roasted when we had full birds in abundance, but the ground works better because you can cook it and the ground beef (73% lean is usually OK) at the same time in the wok.

You can use raw eggs, but the boiled ones are safer.

The salmon oil is good for their coats, comes in a pump dispenser, one squirt per 20# of pet weight.

The yogurt is a good calcium source and keeps their gut flora balanced.

The Preference is dehyrdated veggies, fruits, and greens that provide good vitamins and nutrients for them.

We discovered this combinaton as a spinoff of a cancer diet we concocted for one of our previous dogs. We used to do kibble, but they hated it, and refused to eat it, so no more.
