Daz Dog 8 Posing

Hi, Can anyone offer some suggestions for posing Daz dog 8. Even using the standard poses they don't work corectly. For example, the sitting pose doesn't have the rear legs bending correctly. If I try to move or rotate the dog the pose just breaks more. It has it's own IK that can be seen in the Parameters window. Is this a cause for my issue? Is there something I need to do?

    I have only used the Dog 8 a few times with the standard poses,  but I concur there is something wonky with the rigging when you try to custom pose. I didn't delve into investigating why. 

     

    So I just stuck to using the premade poses that met my needs.

    I have read that IK is behind this issue (or at least some it) - I ran across this recently:

    Dog poses are getting contorted - Daz 3D Forums

    I was meaning to test this during my current round of product testing but just haven't yet.

    That seems to fix the issue. I deleted the IK on the legs. Used the sitting pose. I had to tweek the tail a little, but it looks like the promo image of the pose rather than having the legs bend incorreclty. I am not sure why these IK chains are there if the cause problems.

    I have used most of the dog/wolf characters and have ran into this issue with all of them. I hadn't seen the thread you posted @paulawp (marahzen), so thank you. I have handled the issue by posing the dog, moving it to the final position and then applying the pose again. Also have to do it to the cats as well.
