More practice portrait studio shots.
Lighting for classic mottled canvas
using a color gel on backdrop light and directed over her shoulder.
Brolly to the left and shoot through
fill light off to side.
(needed to bump the fill up for more detail in Abby's black coat.)

Those eyes against that black fur really stand out. Excellent tack sharp focus!!!

Interesting watching your studio/portrait 'learning shots' - I am learning just by looking. Not sure how much help you're getting with these, and whilst I can't offer any knowledge or experience with them, I'd like to suggest something - just ignore it if it's no good: depending how many lights you have, perhaps trying three placed strategically (with or without "brollies" etc etc), maybe one in the background 'up', one (using this shot as an example) up on the left pointing down (which it seems you've done?), and one on the right almost level height. I guess it depends if you are going for traditional studio portraits or something a little different. As for this shot, I think the eye capture is good, but like to see more detail in the black fur, especially around the body (as is on the face/head) and also sharper and 'using' the lightplay on the whiskers/fur outline. Hope all this makes sense and is helpful. The background fabric and colors fit well in my opinion.
