Lizard Doggo not spawning

[MiniMey]

Not sure if anybody has had this issue lately, but lizard doggos don't seem to be spawning in on my map. I've only found one very early on. His AI broke whenever I went out of range and he couldn't follow, like when I fell off a cliff or climbed up something he couldn't. I'd re-find him close to wherever I lost him and be able to tame him again and continue. Unfortunately, he got stuck on a tree in the middle of combat and died by fireball to the face. Since then, I have prowled around areas I've had them spawn before in other save files and where he spawned when I lost him. Not a single doggo to be found.

Must be smarter than I thought.

I have found them to be quite elusive generally particularly around my base as it expanded.
There is an entrance to a cave system on the west side of the map by the oil field - there were about 4 LD's in there for me and that may be worth a look.

The ones I have put in a pen at my base though always remain tame for me no matter how far I have gone on the map.

Until you die.

Creatures (and as far as I know this includes doggos) don't spawn within 300 meters of a powered building, so their spawn range gets pushed further with base expansion
And you only have to retame them when you die
