Huskys behavior

Ok so I just got a husky boxer mix
The lady that I got him from said that he had no behavioral issues other then small kids trying to pick him up
she said that he had never snapped on anyone and new basic commands
well when I picked him up and took him home he was grawling at my other dogs and he has been snapping on everyone
he has been chasing everyone and biting the backs of their legs and he has been trying to bite everyone in the face
also he is not potty trained as the woman has said
I have heard different stories about huskys not being family dogs but i wanted to know more information about them before i decide to get rid of him because i cannot have him biting.
How can i get him out of the biting stage? I always make sure that i let him know he cant bite but then he bites me
are huskys bad family dogs?
Will he always try biting everyone he knows?
Thanks in advance for any advice

He is only 4 months old and i have had him for a little over a month now the woman wasnt a breeder
she told me that she was getting rid of her because the mother of him was her dog and she didnt want to keep any puppies from the litter so she was trying to find them other homes
i know he wasnt the only one that she got rid of but im not sure if they all are acting the way he is
I have a boxer/lab mix as well and he is the greatest, smartest dog i have never had any problems out of him and i got him when he is the same age as the husky is now and he never had a biting problem thats the reason i thought it had something to do with the husky in him

I havent tried any dog trainers just yet as i wanted to see how other peoples huskys acted to know if this is something is their jeans

Thanks for  your advice

Wow, you have some major issues going on.
My first questions are, how old is he, is he neutered and why was his previous owner letting him go?  Did she breed this dog and have it since it was a puppy?  Actually, Boxers can definitely express this behavior also.  
Do you have any experienced dog trainers in your area you could consult with?
I am sure some of this behavior is due to a new environment and you are dealing with an adult dog who is probably feeling insecure and disoriented.  I would not allow him around other animals and pets without having him on leash.  You might even want to consider a muzzle.
Unless you are real dog savey, this dog may not be a good fit for your home.  If he is biting and going for faces. I would be very concerned about liability issues.
