Pets are not teleporting and cannot breed

Hi.

I am playing on a 1.14.4 server with a friend.  We have pets, but there are a few issues that are odd:

Pets do not teleport to us.  Normally when we gain enough distance from pets, they will automatically teleport to us.  We are not exactly sure why this is not happening.  We have four dogs and three parrots.

For some reason, dogs cannot breed, and we are aware that parrots can’t breed.  I don’t know if this is because of the server or not.
