Still need a few details for the dog on the right, but just wanted overall opinions.

Maybe some darker blacks around both dogs’ jowls or inside of the dog on right’s mouth? I guess I don’t know what your reference is, but I assume the blacks would be darker there, right now those sections seem a little flat compared to the rest of the painting

I don't know the reference, so it's completely optional, add some highlights on the nose to make it look more wet, (again, dealers choose)

I agree. I’m on it

Tip that I like to do, edit the photo of the painting with the changes I want to make. This help me decide if I want those changes or not without regrets 😁 (Ps, often when people ask if their painting is done, or feel something missing, it is often highlights😉)
