Bulldog breeders in America Tremaine Edmunds Youth 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.

TOKYO, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- Campaigning for Japan's main opposition Democratic Party leadership began Monday as the party seeks to bolster itself amid concerns that an exodus of members recently may further weaken the party's standing.

Former foreign minister, Seiji Maehara, 55, and former chief Cabinet secretary, Yukio Edano, 53, both filed their candidacies on Monday for the party's top post.

The race for the party's leadership post follows current leader Renho suddenly announcing her intention to resign to account for the party's poor standing in local and national politics after being in the post for less than a year.

The ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) headed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been beset with scandals and gaffes, some of which have implicated Abe himself, others of which saw his former defense minister step down.

But the Democratic Party failed to capitalize on the LDP's plunging public support rate and suffered a heavy defeat in last month's Tokyo metropolitan assembly election.

This acted as a catalyst for a number of Democratic Party lawmakers to leave en masse and for Renho to announce her resignation to account for the party's recent woeful performances.

Renho's successor will be decided at a presidential election to be held on Sept. 1.

Ballots are expected to be cast by around 140 Democratic Party lawmakers and more than 120 potential candidates from the party for national elections, at an extraordinary convention to be held on Sept. 1.

In addition, votes will be cast by in excess of 1,500 members of local assemblies and some 228,000 party members and supporters, with votes being cast and counted on the same day.

The Democratic Party's two front runners are both political veterans and held important portfolios when the party was in power in the three years prior to being ousted by the LDP in 2012.
