Nastyman dogs from Europe?

[SOUR-MASH]

Nasty Man's start came during what is referred to as the Kadar Era in Hungary. There was during this period much change and though there was some positives during this period for the country, things were clouded by a recession that sunk living standards drastically. Many Hungarians also refer to this period as The Red Terror because as well the recession there was oppression, spies, informers etc etc. Human rights were slim to none, one could not travel abroad, the people were not allowed to own currency.

As the country was in this state and with so few human rights as you can imagine there was no animal rights as in enforcement and thus the stage was set for matching dogs. During this period it was not in the least uncommon to find upwards of a thousand or more people attend the matches and matches were held frequently to almost every weekend.

The first dogs Nasty Man were to own on his own were a strain of Alligator that was popular at the time in West Germany and were showing well there. To this day, it is a line that is still popular in that area as well as Russia and areas of the balkans.

Not content with everything he saw with line himself Nasty Man began to look else where for good stock. There were many Patrick bred dogs imported in Eastern Europe and while he admired their intelligence and gameness he to was not content with the line unto itself.

Things began to come into there own with a meeting with the legendary Bros Kennel and there was no looking back for the Nasty Man and the lines he would begin to breed Tombstone / Bolio x Jeep / Rascal / Chinaman.

Since settling for the most part on those lines he has been a very successful dogman and is an international competitor who has had more then his share of great dogs.

One lesser known dog of his many years ago was one by the name of Snoopy. At the time there was another man with a large bandogg who was three years of age and had earned a reputation as a pitbull killer in the area. The Nasty Man laughed at this and said he would face this man with his pitbull killer. A meeting was arranged and much to the horror of many who were there and had placed bets, the Nasty Man brought Snoopy who was 9 years old at the time and no longer had his cutters, he was Nasty Mans long time schooling dog, a roll dog. The bandogg was to never again to kill another pitbull.

Nasty Man is a highly competitive but humble as well, a teacher, a student and a true gentlemen sportsman in a sport not always known for such men and their good ethics. His dogs have stood the test but he himself will tell you, you must never be satisfied in your program, you must always strive.

Good dogs are where you find them yes and his are as good a line as any. Many always are looking for the next big thing, an edge, people like to believe hype. A good one from the Nasty Man line may be nothing in the hands of a poor dogman and an average dog at best may achieve much more in the hands of a true seasoned dogman or woman. My point being that yes you can import a pup or prospect from Nasty Man...and then what ? As good dogs can be found here in North America or for that matter, the world. Good tried and true seasoned dogmen however are not so common. As the Nasty Man himself says "many athletes - few warriors".
