I don't strickly feed a raw diet but feed it as much as I can.   It's a very inconvenient  way to feed dogs the way I do it.     I feed everything I kill or they catch.   I keep most of the deer meat but they get everything I don't keep for myself.        Would take 2 or 3 freezers for me to strickly feed a raw diet.   I have one large feeder for the dogs and one for me.    Skinning the dog food all the time is the biggest pain.   I'm all the time skinning pigs in the middle of the night and putting them in the freezer.    I cut the meat up with an ax when I'm ready to feed it which is pretty nice.   
   Dogs that eat kibble out of the same bowl will fight over 1 chunk of meat so you need to give each dog their own piece or seperat them before giving them meat if they share a large pen together.      If you feed kibble a lot then raw, their crap stinks extremely bad!    Strictly raw is not bad at all after the first couple days but them first couple days is horrible smelling.
The dogs love the bones and the bones really do a good job at keeping their teeth clean and white.        I have to collect the skulls , back bones, pelvic bones, etc out of the pens after a week or two before mowing the pens.    Your also having all the time to haul off hide and guts, I don't feed the guts in the summer.     If you don't mind the work of scrapping the hide and letting it turn to raw hide, the dogs love chewing the raw hide.   Again good for their teeth and works them jaw muscles out  Smiley
