There are a lot of great ones out there but my pick goes to the Rattray’s sandblasted squat Bulldog under their Bulls & Dogs line.
This is one I own:
And then I reread the title, you’re looking for a bent Bulldog. Oops. I think they have bent Bulldogs in that line, though I’m not sure.

My vote would be the Squire XL15 or the Hudson XL21. I have two XL21 but haven't yet acquired a XL15.
If we're talking Peterson, I like the proportions on the 80s better than the ones mentioned. I don't own any though. I have a 999 with silver spigot and it's nice. It's a Rhodesian.
I like the Sav 673 KS, which seems like the Sav closest to a Peterson in design; I don't own one, but I like the Stanwell 191, though availability is spotty; and I've always thought the Dr. Grabow Royalton bulldog is an uncannily beautiful job of shaping for a factory pipe -- I have to believe they have some old carver who does these as a labor of love. There are many excellent factory bent bulldogs, but those are a mere few.
I really like Peterson 80´s. I have two, one of them a recently bought Arkflow. It is a very beautiful pipe, the rustication is very beautiful and the smooth canted rim adds a very nice detail. It is in the brown color stain I have smoked it only twice, the mouthpiece has a very restricted airflow and it is really unpleasant to smoke. I emptied the bowl after smoking the first third of the second bowl. Provided you can handle it and check construction I heartily recommend it, I would not and will not purchase any Peterson online from now on. But the pipe is lovely in my opinion, wish they had been careful when bending the army mount stem...
The Dunhill above looks real classy then we've got this smaller chambered Savinelli 623 which hardly get noticed anywhere today,
@Cachibero, I've been doing this road before with Peterson 80's as well,so I gave with this particular model for the time being,
