Hi data
firstly at 8 months of age your puppy should still be on two meals a day ...if you don't do this he may get a distended tummy.Also he will not grow correctly if you feed all his food in one go.
I don't understand what you mean by

..do you mean a 'complete food' when you say dry? If so you don't put a mixer with a complete food, a mixer is something you can either soak or mix dry with meat/fish/veg..
As to quantity follow the food manufacturers instruction for the daily total amount and divided it by the number of meals in this case two..
If feeding fresh food a rough guide to find the total daily amount is to calculate one ounce of food per pound of the dogs weight ..then divide this amount between the number of meals per day .
