For some reason I didn't notice I was tagged in this...so I'm a bit late, sorry.
When we started the transition it went well and there were no runs, but I know that it can be up to 2 weeks for their stomachs to settle. We get bones ground here so we started with that to let the stomach get use to digesting bone.
Some Barfers here in Finland give 50-70% meaty bone (50/50 meat/bone, chicken, turkey necks and so on), so I wouldn't worry about giving too much bone. I don't think there is so much difference in the dogs, only the "school of thought". You will know from your dogs stools what is the right amount for her. I can very clearly see what Usko has been eating from what comes out....I feed twice a day and usually I give two meaty bone meals and then one all meat meal. Hang in there and don't worry. She'll get the hang of it in no time.
