What does he smell like? I know that's an odd question, but different smells can mean different things...
Since you just recently acquired him, he's probably still feeling a little insecure about everything, including you and your family and his new surroundings. Be sure to make it clear that you're the boss (don't be mean to him or anything like that, but make sure he knows that YOU provide the food and such). He may be scared and insecure, or he may just be testing you. It's really difficult to tell without actually seeing the way the dog acts and reacts.
