Ear of correct length and lying close to face. Balanced angulation and standing on tight well arched feet. Topline was a little too straight for me when stacked, but better on the move.

PGD (2,0) 

1st Palomba’s Purdex’s Khal Drogo. Young male, with the impression of strength and power. Divergent head planes and a good length of head. Muzzle deep and showing slight convergence. Showing chiselling under the eyes. Ears of good length. Eyes of good  shape and colour matches jacket. Occiput pronounced. Neck is powerful and of correct shape. Excellent balanced angulation, with a good layback of shoulder and a nice straight front with  bone. Good bend of stifle, and long muscular thigh muscles. Topline shows necessary fall and rise on the move, better than when stood. Has depth to chest and well sprung ribs. Underside shows skirt. Skin is thick and elastic. I would prefer slightly more arched feet.  Outstanding on the move, I could not take my eyes off him, such reach and drive, that he could not be denied top honours. DCC. BOB

He has nice balanced angulation but not the depth of body of the winner. Topline shows correct fall and rise. Moved well.
