Hi Nishand,

This is still pretty fuzzy.  Interesting, but fuzzy.  You need to learn how to shoot in RAW file mode so that you can enhance your photos and properly apply sharpening.  And why the iso 1600?

Nishand,
Beautiful Dog and the markings are very striking indeed. You managed a great pose and the curious look on the face along with the position of the ears are priceless. The detail in the face is a bit soft, it appears that the camera's focal point was on the shoulder or mid section if this was cropped. The background is very busy and not helping the composition however, without relocating the subject, there is not much you can do about it. There are also three white specs on the forehead and ear that you may want to consider cloning out.
Welcome to NPN and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work as well as your comments on other's work.

Appreciate your effort here.  What appears to be barbed wire cutting across horizontally into dog's ears does not make for an appealing presentation.  I realize the situation in this case the BG does not not always lend itself to the ideal.  Just thought I would mention it. Keep at it!,
