I'm a little rusty at show-posing with Petz, I showed a few petz back in the day but it's been while! but I'd love to start showing my sweet Labrador mix Quail since she's old enough She isn't too good at posing but I captured many pictures using auto-save of her trying a dane-pose, none of her Dalmatian-pose attempts were very good, I also have another dog named Coin (the orange one) who's a big poser! Please tell me what looks best, I appreciate any helpful advice

I think usually, dogz align by the back feet, but some do it by the wrists. But even by wrists standards, Quail is not aligned in those poses. However, I do love how high he holds his head! I have no idea about that tail tho. I think my favorite pose is #5. (Disclaimer: I am a complete newbie when it comes to dog posing)
As for Coin, I think he look GREAT in #2! I think that's an awesome pose ^^

Dogs align by the front wrists, but when that happens, lots of breeds' back feet will line up (or nearly line up) but really, just look at the front ankles and see if they line up. For your first dog, she's turned a bit too far so you'd want her facing the camera a little bit more and then her alignment would be good. We can see a good chunk of her far front ankle there, so turn her a bit so we can't see that. It's okay to see the far leg, but preferably no ankle.
For a Dane pose, you'd want the head to look like #1 BUT that pose's breathing is not ideal. It's hard to discern breathing when the tail doesn't move so you will need to look at her chest and back to tell. The bigger and puffier the chest, the better! Ideally, you'd want a head similar to #1 with the breathing of #3 or #6. However, a head like on #3 or #6 would also be fine because Chi ears are a pain to get lined up.
Thor is right about the second dog, pose #2 looks fine!

Thank you for the detailed helpful advice I tried again this morning to pose Quail but unfortunately she keeps getting frightened, I might be able to score a good well-aligned pose from my lass but she doesn't have seem to have the easily pose-able show spirit I was hoping for.

Try a training session? Where you focus on petting or rewarding good posing? So they become less afraid of the camera?
Also, calling (double clicking) will cause them to stop the current camera reaction and then when you press to take a photo again, they will do another camera reaction.

Good idea, I've heard of pose-training before just like you're suggesting and have praised her with petting and berry treats whenever she poses so I'll continue doing that and hopefully she'll learn Thanks Thor
