Answer 1

yea...i think its normal dogs

Answer 2

Yea, that's being passive/aggressive.  My two youngest dogs play fight all the time.  The come at eachother side by side with backsides to noses.  It's a normal thing that they do.  They will hump each other to show dominace, also.  I have a pack.  I breed dachshunds.  I have four and a new litter.  It's all good.

Answer 3

They're just getting to know one another. I think the prospect of a girl dog has him excited, so he's sort of showing himself off to her. "Here, learn all you can!" sort of thing. I'm sure they'll be fine. :)

Answer 4

Yes, they are.

Answer 5

Sounds like your male is really happy to have a gal around.  He's just showing off for her.  No worries.
