I am not trying to sound rude but maybe you should take him back to the breeder. Don't let him get to attached to your home if your not happy with him. If he is cuddleing your husband then he just hasn't bonded with you yet. He sounds very precious. I hope you make the right decision.
I just don't think you should keep him if he is just an ordinary dog to you.
