@BilgeMouse There really should've been a "short-legged" third size and a fourth for medium dogs. I feel like the CAP we have right now is in many ways a setback, I am especially disappointed by the lack of layers. The number of workarounds I had to do just to get the coats of my pointers correctly was actually kind of ridiculous :D
Ringside photos might be difficult without any sort of mods as we tend to use the pose player for that - on the other hand, I've made several photos when there were no poses around that could go for ringside pictures. Standing ones I got by leashing the dog and unleashing it again, and I took the picture when the sim was putting away the leash (that way the hands were posed in a way where it was easy to edit in a show leash). Walking ones are a bit more tricky but the key for me was to have two sims. Have the first sim call the dog, wait till the dog and sim are in the same place, then set the sim to walk to a second sim and have the second sim call the dog at the same time. It's tricky.

As you can see it's not perfect but I would've gotten a better shot had I spent more time on it. The timing is iffy and using poses is definitely sooo much easier! So if you put any mods into the game I would suggest the pose player and the sim teleporter as well as some of Ohbluir's Poses. I make poses as well but I mostly focus on large dogs.
