Do they breed?

No. The place has been open for less than two years. The lady I was talking to had limited English, but it seems that even the dolphins' genders are undetermined. Trying to breed them is not a priority.
 
Thanks, however if they're rare and endangered why wouldn't breeding them be a priority or do you mean just not a priority to PDW who just have them to make money?
 
It's just not a priority at Dolphin World. That might not be the official stance, but that's the impression I got from talking to the show's narrator and a couple of her colleagues.
 
$$$$$$$$$$$$

True. But I was surprised at how inefficient they were. The park opens only ten minutes before each show, and despite there being a number of other (staffed) attractions/activities, most visitors leave straight after the show - and there's no real attempt to encourage them to stay.

The lady I spoke to seemed surprised that I thought they might know the dolphins' genders, and a bit puzzled at why I asked whether the dolphins might breed in future.

The other collection I visited with Irrawaddy dolphins, Vinpearl park in Vietnam, was also a big commercial venture.
