Dog anatomy

I'm doing a series of images right now with canine anatomy.  Here are some of the sketches I've done today.  The first two are done by observing An Atlas of Animal Anatomy for Artists - a book that I haven't done enough studies out of yet.  Then, I started to sketch my dog, Oshie.  I topped it off with different rapid positions of her both in repose and in action.  Finally, I tried to lay in the proper skeleton in one of her action poses.  The angle was a little strange, so I may need to revist that one as I continue.

(EDIT - I forgot to add the skeleton and muscles sketches to Oshie's 'action' pose)
