Unless I'm mistaken, my massive herd of wardogs used to reproduce, but since v0.21.104.21b I havent seen any puppies.

I had 90 wardogs when I updated, and I've had a few die since then(old age, lizards, etc), but no new births in over a year.

I have checked several dogs, and I do indeed have different gendered wardogs available (unlike my 8 cats, which are all female), but I'm no longer getting any puppies.

Am I mistaken in them having puppies before?  Or is something broken?

It's not a new issue, and as far as I know it's been in all builds featuring animals. I vaguely remember Toady saying he didn't know what the problem was, but it's possible I remember wrong. In that case it's probably an upper population cap to animal races (that's what this bug/feature acts like anyway).

um... started a new game. with 104b (well.. 101d start, then switch right over to 104b) and no animals birthed since. dogs i can understand as there are only 2.. and they are both male.. but there are 3 cats and plenty of horses.. both genders (culled down to 10 odd)... it's now autumn 2nd year.. going to wait a bit more and see..

i remember plenty of animals were birthed in another game played under 104a.. early on.. but can't remember if anymore were birthed when i changed that game to 104b

I just started a completly new game under 104b and don't seem to have any problems with animal breeding, so far. Could the version switch during a running game cause this?

I believe there's a cap for animals you can have.  Perhaps you've bumped into it?

I've been having population decrease lately.  Dogs are dying of old age, and I'm slaughtering the livestock.

I've gotten my livestock reproducing... but not my dogs.

/shrug.
