I could be wrong but I think Cora and Moon Light are not aligned. Their toes don't line up but it also doesn't seem like you aligned them by something else (like wrists).
Can Creamy Coffee's tail curl up a bit more?
I'd also make sure you're getting the pictures at their highest breathing point. I'm not familiar with these breeds but it looks like it might not be the case for Creamy Coffee, at least, and maybe Cora as well.

I think you are right about Cora and Moon Light not being aligned. Creamy Coffee's tail can't curl up anymore than it is. I'll keep trying with them.

I have the hardest time with non-PFM breedz so take this with like-- a grain of salt...
Creamy Coffee (love the name!) I think that file is similar to the Catahoula file I've posed before and I think that the highest breathing point might be off as well as SLIGHT alignment.
Moon Light as well-- usually the nose should look a bit more together (usually a heart shape) to look good.
I really love the profile pose on Cora! But Lobb is right, it's a bit not aligned.
Good luck! Posing can be... a pain! I really am enjoying the activity shows a lot more :) wish more people hosted those <3

Yeah. It's a pain for sure. I haven't shown my dogs in so long. I'm going to keep working with them. I need perfect poses to put into a guide for my forum. lol. So much fun.

I finally found the Catahoula file-- but I was super new at posing back in the day-- Good luck! It does help to work with other people-- I know PKC wasn't built by just one person but a collection of people who all worked with different files and developed a standard for them.

I love that file. I just wish it moved better. I fixed the file's movement for personal use. But will never give out the edited file.

Agreed with Lobb, I'd work on leg alignment for Cora and Moon Light. I'm not familiar with these files but I'll give you a rundown of how I would be looking at these poses if I were judging them in a show.
Cora - headset is nice and high, tail curled (not sure if it's an addball tail?) but something about the leg alignment looks off. If I were showing this dog I'd try getting a few pics in different alignments to see what looks best. I usually align by front wrists but honestly it looks like the back legs will look very unaligned if you do that. I'd try and set up a pose with the back toes level to see how it looks. Honestly I find it hard to comment on this dog as I have no real idea how the file behaves/moves in pose (this is why I ask for petzy files only in my shows).
Creamy Coffe - leg alignment looks perfect, I can't comment on the tail since it doesn't change position in pose. This looks like you've just missed the correct breathing point - the expression of a dog in forward-facing/dali psoe should be looking directly into the camera; this is one frame past that. I'm not sure whether this file can get a heart-shaped nose in pose; if that is possible at the correct breathing point then that would be preferrable too.
Moon Light - the legs are definitey out of alignment, it looks like you should be able to get those back toes level or with the farthest hind foot just one pixel behind. Again, try to get the eyes as level as possible, and the nose too (not all files/dogs can achieve a heart-shaped nose in pose, but if possible you should aim for it, and if not then at least try to get the noseshines level).

I see what you guys are saying. Cora is a petzy file. I know I can get a better picture of her.
Moon Light definitely can do better. I looked at her again and yup I can get a better pic of her
Creamy Coffee I need to work with more too.
