Default First time feeding raw!!!

I've spent countless hours in front of my computer researching various sites on feeding a raw diet and have decided that this was the route to go. I have a 1 year old and a 9 year old yorkie. Gumby (the 9 year old) has horrible teeth, i got him when i was 12 and wasn't as aware of their predisposition to bad teeth. So with Mimzy I don't want to make the same mistake. I heard feeding raw will help with that and also the many other benefits that entails with a raw diet. I've heard chicken was the choice meat i should start with, but neither dogs will touch the chicken breast I sliced up for them. i tried the next available meat which was beef bone, Mimzy loved the beef but had a hard time pulling the meat off the bone so i had to cut it up for her. And the bone was too big for her to chew on and i ended up throwing it away. I went to the pet store that carried both Primal and Nature's Variety but they didnt have any of the sample pack available only the big bags of quail and turkey/salmon. So i ended up walking out empty handed. I didnt want to risk spending $40 for something my picky little eaters might refuse. So my question is should i go for the premade in hopes of both of them eating all the different meats and start with the chicken, if so which brand? Or should I keep trying the prey model diet? I have a cornish hen defrosting in the refrigerator right now. And do i supplement and I would like some tips on adding organs to their diet gradually. They were previously eating evo small bites. Gumby is still on evo small bites as he doesnt seem to enticed by the raw meat.
