It's an assertion of dominance 'throw-back' to their wild ancestors. In the wild, a litter of pups would have to depend solely on their parents for food. The most dominant members of the litter would get the 'lions share'. Nipping and biting each other sets up a hierarchy so that the most dominant puppy gets the most food.
