Traders' animals can get them pregnant, or they can arrive pregnant. Does that explain it?

As for the camel, if you're in a desert, that can be it as well. Traders animals seem to be able to spread their 'spores' right through trader cages.

I'm pretty sure i never had any caravans carry any animal that was any of those. Unless somehow lions, tigers, and wolves count.

I think he was referring more to the traders' pack animals. I know I had precisely one camel, and it gave birth after the first dwarven caravan, what with its frisky, opportunistic pack camels, came and went.

pack animals of the same species can impregnate animals, and every creature in DF reproduces through spores, so a male and female just need to be on the same map together. That means merchants animals, animals in cages and wild animals passing by your fort can cause pregnancy.

You never had a single caravan carrying a dog? How do you know?

However, animals that you own and are in cages won't spread spores, while merchant animals in cages seem to be able to spread spores. Go figure.

You check the unit list every single time you get a caravan, and you never overlook anything? And your caravans never brought a dog? Without a save, that's too implausible to act on. Feel free to reopen this if you have evidence.
