Westin is like that too, our friends have a rottie that is only a week and a half younger than Westin (and twice as big!) and Westin will not leave his neck alone! But Gary doesn't seem to mind and gives it back to him, so I would think that as long as the other dog doesn't seem to be bothered by it, then they are just playing.
Plus, by playing like that they learn bite inhibition, (especially if they didn't learn it as a puppy) so they learn when they are biting too hard, because the other dog will let them know.
