Poodle head sculpt critique

Here are some images of the current stage of the head sculpt. I need you to give me your input. In other words, where do you want me to tweak the sculpt. Please note, once the head is reattached to the body, we will encounter additional corrections. For instance, the ears will be modified in order to better fit the pose of the slanted head. Below you will note I made additional notes for myself.

Here are my notes...
  1. The tip of the jaw needs to be reworked, it appears to broad
  2. The ears will be detached and refitted once the head is back on the body and cocked to he left as in the image you provided.
  3. The cheek areas appear to need more hair.
  4. The bottom jaw area can also benefit from more hair as well.
  5. The bridge between the eyes and nose may need to be defined a bit more. I other words remove some of the hair in order to show more bone structure.
  6. Feel free to email me any additional areas you wish to have altered; however, if you do not agree with the items I noted above please indicate. The image I am using to capture Trackers likeness is the one you provided; hence, his coat appears to be much more fuller than in the images to shot.

Here you can see his bottom teeth as depicted in the image. Since the upper teeth are hidden; will not be seen, they will not be sculpted. The eyes were reworked to give him a happier look.

On this profile image, you can see that additional hair may be needed on the lower jaw.
