There doesn't seem to be any distintion for wolves that are less dominant than the alpha male and female. The others are just part of the pack.

=======

Of course, you probaly know that both alphas are the rulers

below them are the betas, who sometimes rule the pack when the alphas are not there, or even lead small hunting groups if the pack splits. They are also the peacemakers of the pack

under the betas are the middle pack. They pretty much simply hang around without really a rank.

under them is the omega. They are the lowest ranking wolf. They get teased and picked on, snapped at with almost every move they make by the rest of the pack. Normally they tend to leave the pack and become lone wolves.

Normally it is weak, sick, and/or older wolves that hold this rank.

Active wolf submission is when a wolf would flop onto their site, draw their claws in, and role onto their back, whining at the more dominant wolf, who would stand stiff legged and have hackles erect, as well as the odd snarl.

Who is the leader of the pack - the male wolf or the female?

Well the Alpha Male and Female lead the pack together. It's just that one is more dominant than the other. In some cases a male is more dominant. In other cases a female is more dominant. It could go either way. In a wolf pack strength and speed are important. If you're stronger than another wolf your rank will be higher than others, but the main thing that determines the leader is the genes. There is a gene called the alphetic gene. This push's the wolf to become more dominant and more aggressive so that they are the leaders. This is why some wolves leave the pack to start another. So there is not just one wolf that leads. Both the Alpha's lead, just one is more dominant.

Will a pet wolf and your dog get along?

They will get along only if your dog knows how to act submissive towards a pet wolf, and if your dog is not the same sex as that wolf. Otherwise, if the dog is acting dominant or approaches a wolf (even as a pet) in a dominant matter you could end up with a very dead dog in your hands. In most cases, though, the answer to this question is very likely a no.
