Basset Grawling and biting

My 3 1/2 year old Basset has just recently started grawling and biting. He bit my 4 year old son on the cheek and today he bit at me. He has always been a passive dog and very lovable. We recently moved and my oldest son got a new Basset puppy, but his aggression does not seem to be towards the puppy but at me. One minute I can love and pet him and the next he grawls at me. I really love him and want to figure out a way to work this out, but I cannot put my kids and the rest of my family in danger of getting bit. Help please!!!!

Have you taken him to the vet for an exam? My basset acts that way when she is not feeling well. Good luck!
