He's a 40 pound shepherd mix, and i was wondering about his diet. Currently i have a kitchen aid grinder. I create a cooked mix of meats, usually pork, lamb, and beef. It gets grinded into a fine meat, and then i use that as his weekly dog food. Any other suggestions for his food? I was thinking adding potatoes and rice, but i dont know if that's a good idea

Sweet potatoes are good for dogs. Grains and legumes(beans) are not.

If you want to stretch the meat, some bone meal and sweet potatoes would give vitamins and calcium. Leafy greens are good in moderation as an occasional addition too much can increase chance of kidney stones. Eggs and butter are good for their coat.

No onions. No mangos. No avocados. No legumes.

rice is used in kennels

Rice isn't as good as sweet potatoes. You can use it in moderation but kennels have an incentive to feed the most dogs for the least cost and effort. An individual has to decide what route they wish to take.
