Yes it is. I have bulldogs with and without the grooves, but it always seems like the pipe is a bit naked without them. The beauty of the Dr Grabow bulldogs, I think, is found in their simplicity. I believe I’ve seen Dunhill bulldogs with the grooves. Plus, the grooves sometimes chip. Yikes.Good looking. But, question has to be asked: Is it really a bulldog without the two grooves around the bowl?
I’ve got a 90 pound boxer who can clear a room!I had an uncle who owned a couple of bulldogs. All they ever did was sit around and fart all the time.
