My Bulldog and Rhodesian Pipes 

Very nice collection, like the custom built , and the Savineli very stylish 👌 😎

This family is my favorite. Very nice collection of ‘em.

Beautiful collection! ❤

Nice, informative discussion and very nice pipes. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing, nice collection of pipes. I've been enjoying your videos.

Thanks for sharing, cheers!

That first savenelli 120th anniversary with the light bright vibrant grain is beautiful 😍! Definitely my favorite out of all the ones you showed us. Thanks for sharing. I fancy large bowl longer shank bent bulldog designs. I know there aren't many in that category but that's why I avidly look around for them.

Beautiful pipes! The Rhodesian/bulldog may be my favorite style. That faceted northern briars you have is one heck of a special pipe!

Thanks for sharing your bulldog collection! Weber made a pipe called "The Scoop" The shape is similar to the one you showed. That's a real fine collection!

Nice Bulldog Pipes 👍👍

Badass collection bro. The Bulldog and Rhodesian are two of my favorite shapes. Thank you for the informative video and explaining the differences in the two. Happy Smokes! 💥👊💨🔥💯

The shank is the most important determinant of wether a pipe is a bulldog or a Rhodesian, regardless of wether it is bent or not. A diamond or mostly diamond shank is a bulldog, a round shank is Rhodesian. At least that’s what we use in the UK

Great vid! Everything I've ever read claims the diamond shank is the sign if a true bull. All said Great Collection! 🙂👍

I am just starting out in pipe smoking and have really enjoyed your videos! What is that Peterson that was in this video? I like that one a lot! If you have it and ever want to part with it let me know! Thank you for great informative videos! God bless!

You got a bulldog collection that Rhodesian ridgebacks will be jealous of! (hahahah doggie joke) 😂😂😂

Interesting video. These are shapes that I gravitate to as well. Trying to classify the wide variety of variations that occur in these shapes (and many pipe shapes, I suppose) can generate some fun discussion. Like you, I don’t have decades of experience, but I do think of a diamond shank as a bulldog and not a Rhodesian, whether bent or straight. An interesting variation is Matches860’s favorite, the Savinelli 673. Bulldog? Rhodesian? Related, but not truly either? Savinelli on its site describes it as a bent Rhodesian, but the shank is not round. As long as the discussion remains friendly and fun, it’s a positive for the YTPC. Thanks for your video!

Interesting

I use a Peterson bulldog diamond shap Bent stem. I use almost every morning.

Fabulous collection for me square shank is a bulldog like most pipes there is variation I don't put a label on them I'd buy a pipe because I like it thanks for sharing take it easy

Very enjoyable vid, wow super collection. Thanks Tim, you sound a little more ‘’up’’. Hope you are well. Regards.

In my humble opinion, if it has a diamond shank I consider it a bull dog. Hope you're doing well.

Great collection Tim! I’m curious where you source pipes for restoration. Also, if you have an outlet where you sell? As for defining shapes I’d say the creator gets artistic license. Thanks!

Ok, I have what I consider Bulldogs and Rhodesian. As far as I'm concerned, if the shank is a diamond shape, bent or not bent, it is a bulldog. If the shank is oval or round, then it's a Rhodesian. Great collection Tim.

This is a question similar to Balkan vs English vs Scottish. I wouldn’t consider the square stem to be definitive because I have square stem pipes that definitely are not bulldogs. For me it’s the look, straight stem, squat bowl (lines or not), and I have to want to call it a bulldog.

I call it a bulldog if it has a straight diamond shank, and a bent bulldog when it has a bent diamond shank. Rhodesians have round shanks. Also the bowl needs to have a diamond-like profile or it’s neither.

Well done Great collection, yes indeed these pipe shapes are very subjective.. I tend to define pipes with sharp linear shapes more as a bulldog , and soft lines Rhodesian..I have one small bent round shank rhodesian....if you like these shapes check out the " Cairngorm " shape by Mike Billington of Blakemore briars

The Savinelli with the (R) is a Roma

I would rather have a $5 no name that smokes well than a big name that burns hot or won't stay lit. What are the stem protectors called and where do you get them?

By far my favorite shapes are the Bulldog and Zulu and the lines in the definitions are so blurred I'd say everyone is right and everyone is wrong
