Dog #1's leg alignment is great in his/her first pose. In a profile or Dane pose, the top of the snout should be level with the ground. So if you could get his head a touch higher he would be more likely to place higher.
In the second pose, he's turned towards the camera a bit too much. His face placement isn't bad though.
Third pose is slightly away from the camera, and it throws his head off because of it.
In his fourth pose, again he's slightly turned towards the camera. It also looks like the shot was captured when he was breathing out as his head alignment is quite off.
Dog 2 and 3 someone else might have to chime in on as I'm not too good with Doxie mixies. Although I can tell you Dog #2 needs to have his tail arched over the back more like Dog #3.
Dog #4's head alignment is almost bang on. The only fault I can find is his tail isn't arched over his back enough. Had you taken a photo a second later I think you would have nailed it.
Dog #5 has issues with the tail arching over the back and he's ever, EVER so slightly turned towards the camera. You should also try to get the ears to be smooth against his head and not sticking out as the one ear seems to be doing.
Sorry, I couldn't tell you about the Chis!
These are all off to a great start though!

In a dali pose, you want the nose to look like pic 3 of Dog#1. You want to make sure the nose balls are even and the nose shinies are even as well. And that one little pixel that's lower in the middle means he is looking straight forward. Sometimes you can't get that 1 missing pixel, but you at least want to make sure the nose balls and nose shinies are completely even. Dog#1 - I would look for something that's in between pic 2&3. Like Jax said, in the second hes turned towards the camera too much & in the 3rd, turned just slightly away. 2's face is good too. The ears should be even too. In pic 2 the ears are kind of wonky looking, and 3 would be better if he was turned slightly more towards the camera. Dog #2&3 - I have the same trouble with some of my mixes. So I'll just start out by saying that they have bulldog bodies, which is going to throw off the whole dali pose thing. The bulldog body has a tendency to throw the head out of alignment in dali poses. It seems, at least to me, the body forces their heads to not face the camera all the way and leaves everything slightly uneven. I would suggest you try getting them into a dane pose since it will look much better with their dachshund head anyways and will be easier to get aligned into a placeable pose. Again, #2 is turned towards the camera, and #3 is turned slightly away. You want something in between them. The tail should be as curled over the body as much as you can get it, so #3's tail would be better. If you try to get them in a dane pose, make sure the snout is level, with only one ear and one eye showing like #4. Dog #4 - Pretty good! The snout is level, 1 eye showing (the other eye even with the one in front). Like Jax said, tail should be more curved, but overall good! I would say its placeable. Dog #5 - His nose is off since the balls are uneven. It also seems like you didn't catch the pic at the highest breathing point since the ear ins't laying flat. He's turned slightly toward the camera and his tail is off a little. Unfortunately I couldn't tell you if the chis are in a skinny pose or not since I don't do the realistic PKC breeds... However, you can tell if they're underweight or not if you have PetzA installed. You just look at the brainsliders and you want them right around 50 for weight. If too much lower than that, they're underweight. Good luck!
