I gotta tell you, if he is acting as aggressively as you describe at his age, that would REALLY concern me. Granted all puppies bite (mostly in a teething manner) and they may "try out" growling. But snarling and biting when you pick him up or walk by him is excessive.
Has he been treated rough, to your knowledge, at your house OR at the breeders?
If it really is as bad as you describe, I'd call the breeder. Ask her nicely (don't make her defensive) if this has happened with any of her other pups. Ask what she recommends in this case. If she recommends physical punishment, you have a pretty good idea that your pup has been mistreated there. And that, as they say, is a whole different ball of wax!
