Since none of the Quots seem ta have Body I'll just say it here.

The dogs are a bit too Plump unless the Female one is Pregnet or just a 'I-like-to-eat-alot' doggy but Chubby dogs have a lot of chubbyness around the hip, back, stomach and legs. WARNING!: I ain't good and discribing things by Comp ^^"

Paws: There okay but maybe a bit to big. The Puppys seem alright.

Head: The female one needs a bit of work, the lump is rather big.

Tail: Fine in my opininon.

Muzzle: Needs a bit of work on.

Here's this I did...Hope yo don't mind xD Sorry if it was less....Helpfull....I couldn't write anymore XD

Hellooo!! I am very bad at red lining but I tried!

These drawings are great! I love your art!:D

Alright
improvement/s to be made on legs and paws: The paws are big but they look good just the size is a bit much.:D
Improvement/s to be made on tail and bone joint: I just got critiqued on how my tail looked so here goes: The way it is positioned is kind of awkward looking :/ Hmm.
Improvement/s on legs: The upper part is a tad bulky and too high up.

Oh yes! The muzzle is a tad bulky on the bottom

Here is the red line I hope it helps!:3! I am horrible, as I said, at red lining I might make another for the tail

Yeah...I went a little crazy with the red lining. >< This particular pic was hard to critique because of the *ahem* awkward pose, and because I didn't want to mess up your personal style. However, some things just needed a touch-up, while other parts needed....a face lift. x3

Alright, first off I drew a bone diagram. You need work on porportions and joints, and the best way to describe it is to illustrate the correct bone anatomy and compare it to your pic. ((Note: I didn't bother with the ribs, feet detail, vertabrea, ect. I focused mainly on joints and proportions))

Now, keeping that in mind, we move on to the red line of the older dog picture. Your personal style is never something anyone should decide for you, but I don't think incorrect anatomy is something you want to keep. x33 So, I know you have a form, but I have a lot to say xD:

---- Shoulders too large. In the red line I stuck with the body you drew, but really it should look more like the bone diagram. It's easy to see the spaces where there is too much flesh.

---- The neck should be shorter(even though I left the legnth so as not to screw up the pic) and peraps not as far from the body. Because the pose is a bit odd, the neck looks too bulgy, but who knows? you might have drawn it differently if it was a different pose. ;] Also, do you see where the neck fur ends at her front legs? It should continue in a straight-ish line instead of cutting so sharply.

---- Front legs seem ok, but its hard to tell what with the pose...

---- Back legs are way off. Note where the joints connect and push out.

---- Paws need work. Yeah, everyone has trouble with them, but its a no brainer that they shouldn't have different-sized toes. xD Just erase(undo) your strokes until you have them correctly sized. ^^

---- The back should be lowered(of course after you adjust the shoulders.) I didn't in the red line. Should have, but didn't. x3

---- Tail....why is it behind both legs? you don't have to, but I suggest placing it between the legs to lmake it ook more natural.

---- Head should be smaller, muzzle should be shorter(even more so then the one in the red line). Forhead should not be to round, 'lips' should be smoother. Eyes are ok. ^^ Work on re-positoning the ears. ;]


Now onto the puppy...(and look; I used the form! xD)

----Paws: Mentioned on the adult drawing. Same problems, and also the paws are far too big for the pup pic, no matter how sturdy the puppy is. x3 Joints in the legs need work.

----Head: The overal shape looks better then the one in the older dog drawing. Ear positioning again.

----Tail: Um, why is it connected so low to her but? xD You prbably know, it should flow with the backbone. ;]

----Muzzle: Long, bugly around the mouth. Can be easily tweeked/fixed. ^^
