Moira This is Moira, the first white dog bred at my kennel. Moira's... um, not very smart. I've never had a dog leap out of alignment before their feet have even hit the ground, but Moira manages it. Almost every time. This the only one (out of three total) of her poses that was even vaguely in alignment and considering I'm starting a kennel dedicated to showing dogz... I'm awful at it. Is this pose okay? Thank you to anyone that helps!

I think the pose is very good. She could be a smidge more aligned in the legs, but her head position is excellent in my own opinion.

Thank you Jax! I'll probably try showing her with this pose, then and try to get a better one later. xD edit: Tennant Alistair Alterna Fable How are these guys? ^^'

His pose is decent, but I'd try and get him to turn away from the camera just a slight bit more. You're doing really well! I have some dogz who just won't pose at all. Instead they give me things like this: LOL

^ I could work with that...xD hahah. we should have a show just for extreme overposes like that...that ought to be fun!
I thought Moira's noseshines looked a bit off? They should look more like Tennant's, with the right ball only showing so much of it=).
Edit: Didn't see your edited post there^^ haha. Alistair's pose is A+. I'd definitely start showing him. I think Fable could have been turned ever so slightly more towards the camera? Only by a few pixels though...

^ LOL I edited with a few more. Tennant's foot shows through from behind his leg if I move him back more, should that happen? I think it's because he has dane legs with dali feet... & Thank you! <3

shebaatje: a show for extreme overposes? Yes, I think that would be so much fun! LOL
Pixelated: Alistair's pose is great! I'd try getting a dane pose out of Alterna, as most judges will pick a dane in a dane pose over one in a dali pose. Fable's leg alighnment looks great to me, and although his head alignment is spot-on, if you could get his head slightly higher, (to make his snout level with the ground) he would be more likely to get a higher placing. =]

Yay! I'm really glad to hear about Alistair's pose, since he's such a clever dog. I'm really bad at getting dane poses, unfortunately, but I'll try with Alterna. & Fable never seems to lift his head up further?? He always puts it there, or lower, towards his feet. Really irritating. xD Should I try him out with that pose while I'm getting a better one, or scrap it? Thanks guys!!

Usually what I find is when dogz go into a standard pose, the first time they bring their head around, it's pretty level with the body. Then they tend to move their head back the other way at a higher angle. That's when you tend to get the good standard poses.
I would use Fable's pose for now as it's a good pose, but I would definitely try for a better one in the meantime. I never stop getting new poses out of my dogz. I usually use one for a few shows, and then get a new one. I also try not to submit the same pose to the same judge... especially if it didn't place. I don't know if everyone is like me though. =]

Kurian could be turned more away from the camera=), though his head in the profile pose could be turned more towards the camera, like so:

I'm really bad at aligning danes, as you can probably tell. I try to align them like dalis! Thank you Sheba, I'll use your dane as a reference next time I try to pose Alterna and Kurian!
