I want to start showing my labs but I have a hard time telling if they are aligned. Are either of these any good? Candi I'm pretty sure she's unaligned Rowan Thanks to anyone that can help me pictures would help me out a lot!

They could both be ever so slightly more turned away from the camera=]. Rowan's head allignment looks good, as far as I can tell. Though Candi's could be more centered (personally I've always thought that Labradors looked better in a profile pose). I think my Sable has good allignment? If you want to use her pose as an example: Although I do have to admit that I've never really showed this breed much...if someone else comes along with more experience you should probably listen to them^^ haha. I just always had trouble with their leg allignment as well...they're tricky.

I would say that their leg allignment does indeed look a whole lot better! Although judging by their noseshines I would say that the heads could look better. I believe you should be able to see the same amount of noseshine as you do with the Dali breed...? You can also see that Rowan's nose shine doesn't form a straight line, which also means that his head could be more centered. I'd try to get them to do a profile pose and see if that might work better?=] You're actually making me want to try and pose my own Labradors as well...so I might just have to be back with more poses of my own as well, to try and help you. Edit: I'm so confused, haha. Here are a couple of poses I was able to get from my Labrador Darius: (although now I'm not sure about their noseshines anymore=[ boo...they look too big?) (Is there a way to get those ears to just stop moving around all. the. time?xD haha) Edit II:I think this is what you should be aiming for? After posing Darius here, I realized I actually prefer them in Dali poses...their heads just don't want to look right in a profile>.<

^ I would say that last one looks awesome...we need a lab expert lol! Why must they be so tricky xD ok I think Rowans good...I think Candi is a bit more difficult EDIT also would this be an ok pose for Alexandra?

I think Rowan's first pose looks A+ as well! His profile pose looks really good as well, but compared to the first one he could have been more turned away from the camera by a pixel or two:x hehe. I'm not sure about Alexandra...I think she could be ever so slightly more turned away from the camera? Maybe this pose of Charles will help as an example?

Ok so I will go ahead and use Rowan's first pose then and continue to work on Candi! Thanks for the tip on Alexandra too! I have such a hard time with dogz lol *exalts*

Dogz really are a pain to pose, compared to catz...even though some breedz aren't even that hard to get posing (Danes), I've always found it more challenging to (especially) get a perfect profile pose.
And that's not even counting the Mutts and Bulldogs...if ever I wanted to throw my computer out the window, it was while I was trying to pose those breedsxD haha. Although they're not entirely impossible either. I did managed to get a couple good poses out of those breeds=].
I'll start showing Darius as well...it would be a shame not to use that pose, I think. Good luck with Rowan!=D
