So in my kennel there is an option to tame the Hydra that I just caught in a cage. I assume that as the Hydra has a title it has quite likely killed dwarves in the past and would make a poor pet, however if I by some chance were to get a second Hydra, is there any way to breed them so I could tame the babies?

Hydras are lacking the proper child tags, so in vanilla DF they are unable to breed regardless of how many you have.

Thanks. That's a shame, I was looking forward to giving my Duchess a pet Hyrda

I assume it would it be possible to mod in baby hydras...

You'll never know unless you try - I caught a hydra in a 0.31.14 fortress and it was perfectly peaceful once tamed. The fact that the creature has a title is meaningless - pretty much all megabeasts have titles from killing stuff during worldgen, but you should be fine as long as its kill list doesn't include dwarves from your home civilization.
