She looks great so far! I'm sorry she is giving you a hard time. ;u; Fuudogs are kinda tricky like that, as far as ambiguity on their species, if it helps I imagine her to be more canine-like. The only thing I'd want changed are to have claws added to the hind feet as well, otherwise this is perfect. ouo
ah, whoops, good spot! and it's no worries at all, challenges are great, right? helps me out to have something I'm not quite sure how to draw.

Challenges are pretty fun, and are also a great way to learn, I agree. ouo I look forward to how this turns out when finished!
