Note that animals cannot get pregnant in cages (in fact, this is one of the ''few'' times they can't), so you'll have to move past the initial training stage to have them. |

They can, and will, revert to a wild state when they become adult wolves, though going back to a fully wild state will still take some time after they've reached adulthood. |

− | + | Animals who are born from a trained animal will inherit the mother's trained status, including the training quality. This allows procession to full domestication, as when children with a high enough taming level are tamed well enough, they may become domesticated (and will never need retraining again, unlike their mother). Interestingly, the training level of the father does not count for anything when it comes to the child, but perhaps this is unsurprising given that in Dwarf Fortress animals can breed from across the entire map, without ever even seeing each other. Only children can be domesticated, and once the young animal grows up the opportunity for domestication will no longer be available.<sup><span class="plainlinks">[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=121150.0 1]</span></sup> | |

Child-rearing animals that give birth to their young is easy: as long as there is at least one male of that species is somewhere on the map, children will be born, inheriting their parent's pasture statuses in the process. Egg-layers are more complicated; there must be an open constructed [[nest box]] for the female to occupy and lay a clutch of eggs in, and they and the mother must remain undisturbed during the process as the mother must incubate her eggs, even for training. Thus the eggs must be [[forbid]]den and the mother should have her trainer de-assigned during the duration of her stay; they also will ''not'' inherit their mother's pasture status.<sup><span class="plainlinks">[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=121150.0 1]</span></sup> The resultant children will have the taming status of their mother when they were ''laid'', not hatched. |
