I don't like the angle the picture is on and the backyard could've been cropped some to hide the fence. You could've made the picture bigger as well, especially with it cropped at the top.
i assume you live in the southern hemesphere. focus seems a bit soft and the rotation a bit off. subject looks well trained for posing for photos, however.
Very cute puppy...looks like an American Eskimo. This would make a nice snapshot for your family photo album. Just a pointer that I learned a long time ago when taking pictures of my animals...get down to their level and as close as you can. That way, you can fill most of the picture with your subject (in this case the dog) and won't have to crop too much in post processing, especially if your camera doesn't have very high resolution. I might have taken the dog out in the sunshine where there is more light and placed her in front of the tree, using the trunk as the background. Might try it and see how it goes.
