I can tell you what my SchH Trainer tells me, but that is not the oppions I've heard on here. He tells me to feed my GSD Dry dog food. I've Had her about two months now and she looks great and feels great. He also told me not to feed her table scraps (Human Food). I do give her a vitamin aday too.
Be careful with hearts and livers, they are VERY rich and will probably make your dog...umm...a little loose, to say the least. I started out with chicken wings, didn't have much of a problem there.
Most people say to feed it separate from the kibble. If you look in the archives, you should be able to find a lot of stuff that helps.
raw chicken bones are okay, pork bones have to be frozen for a certain amount of time first (I think that most meat in the US has already gone through this). Pork bones have to be the right size too. Some shops will cut up necks and create sharp edges in the process. I don't have any experience with pork, since Auster is sensitive and can't have it.
Cooked bones are the ones that are dangerous.
Al, I've heard from other people that can't get bones. The bones are important to maintain the calcium/phosphorus balance in the diet. If you don't get bones at least use bone meal powder. You can buy whole chickens and cut them up to give to the dogs. Most of the time ethnic and hispanic grocery stores will carry what you are looking for (unusual and bony parts).

Then That's why I was told not to give table scraps because it was cooked. I see "said the blind man" So if I debone a chicken, it's ok to give her (my GSD) the bones? Raw... Just asking don't what to kill her.
The reason cooked bones are dangerous is because the during the cooking process the calcium is sucked out of the bones thus leaving them dry and brittle. The reason you feed them raw is that they have the much needed calcium /phosphorus in them and they are 'soft' not brittle. Most who feed the raw diet feed the softer bones (necks/backs).
I don't see anything wrong with feeding table scraps to the dogs meal and I will do this often (depending what it is). Dogs should not eat onions .
Raw food is also digested at a differnt rate than your kibble. Thus, most who choose to feed both will feel dry one meal and raw the other meal.
For raw veggies to be digested properly you need digestive enzymes in the food, this is provided through the raw meat. Thus, if you are going to feed raw veggies you should also feed raw meat.
