Might be He loves his Mum

Naughty boy going to the vets very,very soon,.

he's not naughty he's a fucken dog.... maybe his mumma should have been to the vets years ago, wasn't bolt a result of a mismating, i can recall the debate on his sire, as well as the last two inbred litters.
sorry to sound harsh but don't blame the dog.

Sounds like a separate bitch kennel is on the cards at the Dundee farm? Mind you nothing unusual about close matings in Dannevirke!

That, and the odd well timed correction (note the word correction, not punishment). Remember @possummatti, that a dog will always take the easiest option, so you have to gear your training towards making compliance the easiest option for the dog. Hence, petting and praising will only get you so far
