Did I say I like bulldogs

The only ones I dislike are the tall ones and ones with elongated shanks/stems - NOT true to (my) form

Top right is my ideal bulldog shorty.
What make and year is it? One below it also a real looker!

Top right is a 1914 Delacour Brothers nose warmer. With an orific bit.
2nd down on the right is a 1920 BBB with a slotted bit.

I have @40 Bulldogs - pretty much variations on the same theme

Could never bring myself to buy a rhodesian or bulldog pipe, but that is a keeper!

I can easily tell you're one of the cool kids! As Bukowski said "find something you love and kill yourself with it" pretty sure he meant his writing and not drinking but I could be wrong lol

I do love myself a bulldog. My favourite one I have would have to be this little Castello number, smokes like a dream…


If we’re going to include Rhodesians I can’t go past this Il Duca…

I like the classic shape. I have a pretty good number with the classic bowl and a variety of bands and stems. Meerschaums too. Like this CPF French Briar.

I think the Stanwell 32 straight bulldog absolutely nailed the shape. I have had several and I think the proportions are just right. They are great smokers for usually not too much money.

What a great thread topic - so many lovely pipes to drool over. I'll bring the property value down a notch with two every-day bulldogs from Kawoodie, made about 60 years apart.

That’s a beauty - tres elegante !

I didn’t realize I was a Bulldog apologist until I realized that three of my first four pipes were Bulldogs. These two are my favorite. Pipes Depot Meerschaum and a house branded pipe from the Sisimbro shop which I visited in Naples, Italy.

A couple of favorites in my collection.

Ashton Pebblegrain (1999) - I've never seen another Ashton in this shape



Peterson B5 Supreme



Sasieni Danzey (in Natural)

I’m becoming a fan of bulldogs, both bent and straight though only have two that are bents that are great smokers:

Dr Grabow Royal Duke

Brebbia ‘1960’ Nera Sabbiata

 

[FLDRD]

These are the models I have; and I happen to have 2 of the Captain Pete's. (The middle one)

 

[JoburgB2]

Bulldogs (the dogs, that is) have large heads, a stout body and short legs
To me, the quintessential bulldogs are Peterson’s SH Squire and Hudson

Those two Peterson bulldogs are handsome, manly pipes indeed. Envious!

I'm not personally a fan of the bulldog (or Rhodesian) shape(s) in general. I don't dislike them, it's more I am neutral about them as a general shape, but there's examples of them that I really dislike (like ones where the cut lines are at the center of the bowl height, or where they make a sharp transition from out-to-in at those cut lines).

I do like the Peterson 80s bent bulldog shape though and it's probably my most favorite shaping I have seen with bulldogs. I have one, red spigot with fishtail stem in that shape.
