Hi there. Unfortunately, this is not a simple question! A lot goes into formulating an appropriate, nutritionally complete and balanced diet for any given dog. If you want to do some type of home-prepared diet (whether raw or cooked), I recommend using a website like www.balanceit.com or www.petdiets.com to create a diet using your preferred ingredients. Alternatively, you can do a consultation with a board-certified veterinary nutritionist for additional guidance on putting together a diet for Dumpling, if you prefer: https://acvn.org/nutrition-consults/
