If I had to chose, I'd say bulldog due to the shank. "Bullpeck" does have a nice ring to it!
And, holy mother of Jesus, that is fantastic! What does it weigh?

It's blasphemy and it undermines the foundations of pipe nomenclature this hobby was built upon. :twisted:

Still a very very nice pipe though, I'd vote bulldog as the upside is the side I behold the most.

If that's a Bulldog it's the ugliest Bulldog I've ever seen.
The carver should get the strap and be sat in the corner with a shape chart for an afternoon.
How do you really feel? You are holding back on us. Lol.

Well seems like a Hybrid.. The diamond shank makes a bulldog, but the bent shape and wide squat bowl is a feature of Rhodesian.. Call it a Rhodesian Bulldog

I posted a thread a year or so ago called "Blurring Lines". Shapes are becoming increasingly harder to define.
