He looks like a perfectly "normal" EBD to me. Having had a EBD as a puppy, yes, that's what they look like.
However, "normal" for an EBD is not "normal" for any other dog. They have, frankly, been bred for umpteen generations precisely FOR those abnormalities. There is nothing proportional, or quite frankly, healthy about them.
Don't get me wrong, I loved our EBD Rosie SO much. She was the sweetest dog in the world, and absolutely adorable in her own warped way. However, she died before she was two years old. Our vet said she had the lung capacity of a thirty pound dog. She weighed sixty pounds.
Basically, the exaggarated looks of the modern EBD killed her. I personally think its a cruel and terrible tragedy what we have done to this breed.

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
