It is possible for a dog to be born with Brucellosis if the mother had it. Most likely the bitch would have aborted the litter and puppies would have never been born, but some brucellosis positive bitches will carry to term...thus producing brucellosis positive puppies. So even though they've never been bred, they are still positive.
