This is a great question to be asking early. Gsds and chihuahuas have different nutritional needs and large dogs in particular can have serious developmental problems if not feed properly as puppies. I am unsure of what your options are in your small town, but I would continue to look for an over the counter kibble that is AAFCO tested (there should be a section of the label addressing this). If you can't find one, I would ask your vet. You can still add a small amount of chicken, meat or rice to their food. If they only want home cooked food, I am happy to do a consultation to help you figure out which direction to go!
