Pose help needed.

[Dulcis]

There are a lot of guides that say `how to pose` but they dont say HOW to pose. They say whats a correct pose and say allign the paws and stuff. But i need to know HOW i pose. Does someone has the awnser?

[Amy@DukesGroup]

You pretty much just keep snapping the camera until they pose. Sometimes they go into an overpose, if they do this just stop taking pics and wait a min. Usually they go into an actual pose right after. Best way for us to help you is to take pics and post them, then let us help you with what you can do better and such.

It looks like it's a skinny pose. See the neck and how skinny it is? Try putting them away and recalling them, and trying again. The neck should be thick, and the chest puffed out. The legs aren't aligned properly. Try to get the front legs so you can't see the opposite leg on the front or back, yet you should still be able to see the paws. [:

about the alligning, it has something to do with the breed file, it has a extra piece of fur at is legs witch makes it look like his legs arent alligned. Thanks for the help tough!

Are you on PKC? If so, I want you to look at the RW winner of this show and try to match the legs much like this ones.
Click Do you see what I mean? [: This dog is also a perfect example of what you should try to aim for. And you'll see exactly what I mean by "skinny pose".

[Dulcis]

I think my dogs has a "skinny pose" is because he is a bit skinny, i always use brainsliders to make them as less fat as possible. Is that why he is in a "skinny pose"? Also i cant do anything about the piece of skin on his legs. Here's some examples: See? (he is a bit angry on these pics tough...

And yes, on PKC my name is Dulcis.

Keep him at 50. o: That is the healthy weight...But no, the reason for a skinny pose is not actually clear. Perhaps after petting your dog created the problem? I've read that on PKC.I also read putting them back and taking them back out helps. [: As for the legs...

See what I mean when you compare the pictures with the legs, though? See how yours are very far apart? They should be a little closer.

Edit: What do you mean, piece of skin on his leg? He looks fine to me, it's just that one pose. Try again and post a picture. It's probably just that. [:

I keep all my petz at 70-75 on the brain slider. 50 is too skinny for me.
Some of my cavaliers:
Quinlyn placed RW with this pose:

Valko placed W2 and BW with this pose:

And Zindra with the extra hair on her legs, she placed G2 and G3 with this pose:


These are all PKC poses, I've noticed that in pose shows people like poses better when the head is higher, more like Valko's pose.

Thanks for the help!!

[Dulcis]

HeroicKennels if you want someone to judge your pics, just make a tread ok?

I got another pic, i really hope its good. Its a really weird pic, since Moriarty (the pet in this pic) was perfect alligned when he stood normal so im not really sure.

I'm afraid the alignment is still off (see how you can see both ears and chunks of all four legs)

But it's very close and a nice start!
