he wanted to run through the house when we came back
in and I told him to sit! When he's annoyed with
me he actually "Huffs". Drives me up the wall. A dog
has the nerve not to have patience with me.
Who would believe such a thing?

Sounds like your little one is not much different.
They are just too smart for their butts.
LOL! Don't confuse the single huff with the huffing they do when happy. Gracie Ruth is a back talker, although getting better about that , and she'll do that single huff when she doesn't like being told to do something. The happy huffing is a bunch of huffs put together in a row and sounds almost like they are panting, or out of breath. But you know there's no reason for them to be out of breath.

Unfortunately I think Buddy is expressing his displeasure, much like my girl does. When she's really miffed theres a yammering grrrr that follows the single huff. I answer back to her real fast, "Excuse me?!!" and she'll drop her ears and stick her nose up at me with a little smile on her face, wag her tail, "Luv you Momma" "Yeah, I thought that's what you meant."
