Take your time to make proper improvements before rushing to show people your work. You keep jumping the gun on your showcases and seem confused by criticism. Polish your work as if it means something THEN give us eye candy.
If you do that, you will have more support and more constructive criticism rather then having us tell you what should be obvious.

That is a realistic and well done dog model. Your model needs a lot of improvement before you can compare it to realism.
