Hello! I will not be using stars for this critique, because I think they are pretty unnessecery. Please just ignore the stars. :)

Cons:

The eyes seem a bit too close to the edge of the muzzle, next time try to move them a bit farther away. I think the tail looks kind of like a cat tail, because it is pretty long. The nose could be a little bit bigger. And finally the hind legs are short, and should be made a tiny bit longer.

Pros:

The body structure is amazing! I love the paws and the eyes. The design is beautiful. The dog's size is great; not too skinny and not too plump.

If you would like to improve, I suggest studying the anatomy of dogs, specifically if you are going for a certain breed. Maybe watch some videos to see the way a dog's body looks when it is walking, jumping, running, all of that. That's all I have to say, I love the picture and I hope the critique helped!

Please note, I do NOT use stars to critique things, so ignore them. I critique things that need to be critiqued, not the "chosen" things.

=Anatomy=
Head and Face:
-The nose, lips, and chin seem to be a bit too rounded, even for a canine. Try to make them a bit less curved.
-The eye is a bit too far up for it to be correctly positioned on the head, as the from corner of the eye should meet up with the corner of the nose. Also a small note, there should be at least a small portion of white visible in the eye.
-The hair on the top of the head is fine, but the way it is drawn you cannot tell where the fur begins and where the skill ends. Maybe draw a very few, thin lines where the hair begins? This will be shown in a red line I will include at the end of this critique.

Body:
-Where the chest ends and begins around the left forearm seems to dip in slightly, and expand back out unnaturally.
- The back of the neck seems to be okay, but the front seems to dip in a bit too far for the "muscles" of the canine to freely and comfortably move.
-The tail looks good how it is!

Arms and Legs:
-The "bicep" of the left forearm, where it is more against the body that the rest of the arm, seems to bulge a bit more than it should. It gives a kind of effect where the arm seems to have a large abscess of fat.
-The toes on all of the limbs are a bit too round and lumpy, when canine toes are a bit more like rounded rectangles.
-Canines do not have retractable claws, so therefor claws are always visible. Dewclaws are also included on the little "thumb" canines have on their forelegs.
