Have you by chance talked with your breeder about his behavior? Especially since he came to you this way?

Did he receive a good check up at the vet?, maybe he doesn't feel too well?

I can only suggest training him to learn that you are the "alpha" in the home. Also, he must do something positive to receive anything, meals, treats, petting, etc...I am thinking he will come around and be more loving and pleasing to you.

Keep your chin up and with patience and positive reinforcement Cassius will probably get more happy. Keep contacting the breeder also over this, maybe the breeder can give some insight towards his behavior.

Good luck and please keep us posted...
