I had 2 female miniature poodles from the same litter. Well one was mine and one was my grandmom's but they lived in the same house.
We had an older male yorkie and an older medium sized female mutt when we got them. The yorkie was defiantly the alpha before he got Alzheimer, the mutt was the most submissive thing ever.
The poodles were about 4 when the other 2 died (they were 18).
I can't really say which poodle was the alpha. They used to get into fights periodically. They weren't vicious fights, basically they'd stand on their hind legs, lock arms, and growl at each other, sometimes wrestling around a bit. No one ever got hurt and they didn't bite at each other. Usually they'd just suddenly stop and huff at each other, or we'd get a blanket and break it up.
They'd also growl at each other fairly often, but they loved each other and got along great most of the time. I'd get female siblings again.
