I've personally always liked Tamsins in Dali poses better=) and they're a lot easier to get right as well, haha.
Both of these poses aren't at their highest breathing point either. You can tell by looking at their tails, which could be curved more towards their heads. Their right front legs could also be a little more straight=).
I love the Dane ears, though!^^ Dane ears on Tamsins gets me everytime, haha.

Head height is kind of a personal preference thing. Whether the head is high, level, or in between, they're all accepted. Personally, I usually prefer higher heads in most breeds, but again, that's just my preference. The main concern is the legs and head, and a good breathing point. As Shebaatje said, both of these dogs are breathing out, so you want to try to focus on watching the dog's breathing while they pose and snap the pictures at the right moment, at the peak of their "breath". This will straighten out the legs better, give the chest and torso a better shape, curl the tail over the back better, and make the dog appear prouder and straighter in general. Neither of these are really good for showing because of the low breathing point. Also, if you don't already, learn to recognize and avoid "skinny poses". Posing dogz can be difficult, it sometimes takes me multiple posing sessions to get a decent show pose from a dog, so I feel your frustration. The trick is, train them by rewarding them for posing. Even if it wasn't a good pose, pet them when they're done each time they pose. You will need to re-position them after petting them, but it will pay off in the long run when they start posing more often for you when you bring out the camera. If you have the dog aligned, and it isn't posing, and you suspect it might be thinking about jumping out of alignment, try to click in front of it's face to get it's attention. If you've been at it a while and haven't gotten a good pose, put the dog away and bring out another one, or do something else. Bring the dog back out after a while and try again. Keeping these pose sessions short will keep the dog from getting too tired, and help keep your sanity. It will get easier over time, just keep at it, you have a good start here.
