Bulldog breeders in America Jaden Schwartz Blues Jersey , England and France helped continue a breed that almost became extinct. The original Bulldog originated in England and was used to torture, or bait bulls for sport. Gamblers also used Bulldogs in dogfights and bet on the most aggressive dogs. When England passed the Cruelty to Animals Act, bull baiting and dogfights were shut down and people lost interest in the Bulldog.

The original version actually became extinct but not before English Bulldog breeders bred the Old English Bulldog with the Pug and other smaller breeds. These breeders created a lap-sized dog that could be kept as a family pet. The charming English Bulldog remains popular today.

The English did not take to a smaller, toy-sized English Bulldog, but the smaller version became so popular in France that French Bulldog breeders renamed it the French Bulldog and bred in different traits than those seen in the English Bulldog. The French Bulldog has a smaller head and erect, bat ears unique to the breed.

These dogs can be very willful and aggressive to other dogs, so training and discipline are necessary from the time they are small puppies. Because of the short muzzle and short, squat body, English and French Bulldogs can have breathing issues and are also unable to regulate body temperature.

Bulldogs are social creatures and will follow owners everywhere. It is important for owners to interact with them and show affection. Because of the Bulldog's history of aggression, any behavioral issues should be dealt with consistently from the time dogs are puppies. Bulldogs respond well to positive reinforcement and tone of voice. Hitting or otherwise negatively reinforcing behavior can be detrimental to this breed. Buyers can ask American, English and French Bulldog breeders for additional specifics on breed care and treatment.

KIEV, March 12 (Xinhua) -- Ukrainian Finance Minister Natalia Jaresko said here Thursday that Ukraine will start debt-restructuring talks with its creditors on Friday.

"Tomorrow we will start consultations with our lenders on the restructuring of the state debt," Jaresko said, while speaking at the parliament.

If negotiations are successful, the public finances debt burden will ease, Jaresko said, without giving details on the targeted sum of debt restructuring.

According to various estimates, during the negotiations with its lenders, Kiev would seek restructuring from 15 billion U.S. dollars to 22 billion dollars of its state debt.

Earlier this month, Ukraine's central bank said the country's public debt reached 1.1 trillion hryvnyas (about 51 billion dollars) or 71.5 percent of the gross domestic product at the end of 2014.

The successful restructuring of the state debt is one of the key conditions set by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for Ukraine to get the second tranche of a new aid program involving 17.5 billion dollars.

Under the program, approved on Wednesday, the IMF decided to allocate 5 billion dollars as a first disbursement for general budget support to the East European country.

BEIJING, March 12 (Xinhua) -- Chinese central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan said Thursday that China is sticking to the prudent monetary policy despite the use of a string of new monetary policy tools, hinting at policy flexibility to combat deflation risk and boost growth.

Zhou made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the national legislature annual session, adding that compared with the large size of Chinese economy, the scale of those monetary policy tools is not big.

With an economic slowdown, the Chinese economy has entered a "new normal" era, but that means neither the economy is in a condition troubled by particular problems, nor the nation's monetary policy will shift gears, he said.

There will be some "flexibility" of the prudent monetary policy, he said.
