The breeding will go fine even if the beak dogs are on chains in different parts of your fort with walls between them. Sperm is extremely potent in the current version of DF.

Ok.

1) I added "TRAINABLE" and "PET" to Beak Dogs.
2) I captured 20 or so in cage traps. They were "Invaders" on the "u" menu.
3) I threw them into a pit containing all of my cats, four dogs, two donkeys and a horse.
4) The horse kicked the everloving stuffing out of them. But I managed to isolate the horse. So...
5) I did indeedy get "Beak Dog pups". Excellent!
6) Um, the other beak dogs don't like them. The pups are initially "hostile" on the "u" menu.
7) I cage everyone, sort them, kill the older dogs off.
8) I'm able to tame the pups! I get "Stray Beak Dogs (Tame)" pretty much on-plan here.
9) The pups grew up.
10) The Dungeon Master says no suitable animal when I ask for a War Critter.

(I've had several sieges at this point, they seem to be 'holding' to their tame status while attached to the iron chain restraints I've used to keep them from go berserk somewhere populated.)

Hum. Expected? Unexpected?

That is the most well-placed, expressive unintentional 8) I've ever seen. Nice.

Ahh, taming.  I personally added [PET] and [trAINABLE] to nearly every species.  It's plenty fun.

I'd imagine my Beak Dogs would be reaaal fun.  According to the Wiki and the Raws, Beak Dogs are actually more along the lines of Deinonychusii raptors.  They're upright humanoids and all that.  So I made them much faster and more dangerous. (Speed 600 and a slashing 1-8 damage natural attack).

Oh, Bluea: you don't need the DM for just [trAINABLE].  I don't know why your Beakers wouldn't be doing it right, unless you misspelled [trAINABLE], or if it requires a regen - in which case you might not be able to get Beak Dogs again for a looong time without the right world or changing Beakers' biomes, which I did.
