I know it feels like punishment, but you might want to consider redrawing this one a couple of times, correcting previous mistakes on each new run. You could sacrifice line quality and detail for speed if you wanted to.
In this attempt most of the bodyparts are correctly shaped, but they’re “too big”, making the dog look more “puppylike” than the original. If you resize the whole sketch dog to roughly match the reference, the head and legs are too large in relation to the whole, and the body/torso is too long (or at the wrong depth angle).
Performing a digital side-by-side comparison should make many of these things pretty clear, and you might use that information to do a second improved sketch (and/or keep it in mind for later, as it’s quite common to unintentionally enlarge familiar/interesting/detailed parts of an object).

I always draw small btw… much too small actually. I feel a bit lost when I try to draw a full-page thing

Most of the body is relatively well-proportioned, except for the bottom of the back end perhaps. I’d say surprisingly good for a “beginner”, but I don’t know how much experience you’ve had previously.

Both feet are much too small, but generally the right overall shape. It’s very useful, particularly with rectangular photo reference, to check vertical and horizontal alignment of features and parts of features. This should have alerted you to the gross misplacement of the left-most toe in relation to the chest/throat for instance, and also the size of that leg since the other toe reaches back to the front-most wing (which is correct in your sketch).

I would have put a lot more effort into the head and face, since that’s where the main interest is in the picture. The beak has a lot of interesting curves that you seem to have ignored, and the eye isn’t just a black dot on the photo.

So with proportion, it seems that you have a pretty good handle on large rough shapes, but get confused when you “zoom into” the details of a specific area. Could help to stop and observe the big picture from time to time. Also try the mirror trick if you have the chance (mirror the image somehow and be amazed at all the new flaws you discover).

You should probably avoid shading to begin with, and/or try to apply it in a systematic and even fashion rather than randomly scribbling around to make a darker shade. Typically, a good way to apply shade is to cover an area with parallel pencil lines drawn in the same direction (i.e. not zig-zag back and forth, but lift and restart on each one). It’s of course best to put the lines so close to each other that they blend into one smooth surface, but often impractical unless you have a very blunt pencil or lots of patience. It helps to shade with the lead sideways, nearly flat on the paper.
Also, shade isn’t really meant to be lines, so try perhaps to think of it more as scanning/filling than drawing.

For the record, I actually prefer when my pencil isn’t perfectly sharpened, but rather on the verge of becoming too blunt for practical use. That allows me to make nice soft lines and areas while still often finding a sharp tip to make details with if I stand the pencil right up.

Good start at any rate. Now let’s see if I can manage to squeeze one out tonight… I think I’ll go with one of my shoes if I can’t come up with anything else.
