The classic Bulldog has a diamond shank, tapered stem and the bowl is tilted forward a few degrees. The bowl is shaped somewhat like two cones joined at the bases, with the top cone truncated or cut off and the bottom cone blended into the shank. Where the two cones join, there are traditionally two very small grooves cut around the bowl. The artistry in making a Bulldog is in how the round shape of the bowl transitions to the flat panels of the diamond shank. Bulldog pipes can be found without the grooves. They are also available bent. There is some controversy about the difference between a Bulldog and a Rhodesian. Some feel that any bent Bulldog is a Rhodesian. Others think a Rhodesian must have a round shank. Until someone convinces me otherwise, I'm going to consider a Rhodesian to be a round-shanked Bulldog.
