This happened to me once. I set out to replace my uncommon Brown Marmot with a rare so I went out to The Hinterlands. It was fairly soon after a restart (I managed to grab an poor Scourged Whelpling). For about the first half-hour every pet I battled was the same, the primary pet was poor and the secondary was a common Brown Marmot (even with different primary pets). I chalked it up to the behavior you see with pets that all spawn at the same time. After I started my second pass around the zone, the variety started to show up and I was finally able to get what I was after.
Basically, I'm guessing with the restart, all the pets spawned in at the same time as the same group. Once you clear all the spawns out the first time you'll probably start to see the variety. Good luck though, it took me about six hours to finally get my rare Crow.
