It's nice, but as Tripleaaa said, I don't think it is quite to the intermediate point.
The color is beautiful and the fur is quite nice, but the dog itself is a bit out of proportion.
His neck needs to be longer, and his torso needs to be shortened. You may want to give his legs a more relaxed look, so he isn't so stiff. His tail is great but you may want to make it flow, and attatch better into the body.
I think his ears could be set farther back on his head, and his jaw bone could be more defined, but other than that is head is pretty nice. ;D
You may want to give him some back bone, and shoulder blades, and make his rump have more form, and give him some toes.
His eyes have a feline look to them, but his eye style is up to you.
Over all you did a nice job.
Hope this helped you as you were looking for a constructive critique.
