Either BARF model or Prey model can you do it?
I am NOT breeding at all!!!!!!
Just very curious what age you can start doing this.
(I assume from the age they start to wean but I also assume that there are special guidelines and such until they are a certain age)

Many people do raise puppies from the start on raw food; dogs are carnivores at any age. However, I would recommend talking with an experienced raw-feeding breeder before jumping into raw feeding your puppy. Puppies have special nutritional needs and it is important to meet them or you could adversely affect their physical development. It doesn’t need to be super complicated, but I would definitely defer to those with more experience in this area (which includes reading books, joining email lists/discussion groups, finding websites). Good luck!
The registered breeder of my Rottweiler weaned the litter on BARF as per Dr Ian Billinghurst’s book.
