Check structure before surface
Look first at head shape, ear angle, profile, height relationships and pose. Color or finish cannot rescue a silhouette that has not yet been approved.
Give observable correction notes
Point to a source photo and describe the visible difference, such as a shorter muzzle or higher left ear. Avoid combining a new pose, new style and new source set into a correction round.
Know what approval locks
Approval locks composition and likeness interpretation for fabrication. Major pose or style changes afterward require a fresh scope because they alter more than finishing detail.
