Congrats on your new dog! I wouldn't be too concerned that Max hasn't pooped since you fed him dinner, he may not need to poop under later. That being said, boiled rice and meat isn't a balanced diet, and won't contain any fiber that could be a cause of him not pooping. I would only feed Max a puppy formulated food (brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams), and you can mix a tablespoon of canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) to see if that helps him poop.
