As for interbreeding it happened all along but we didn't see a giant spike in this until the numbers started to dwindle. It went from happening at a normal rate just as any other species to GIANT numbers closer to the time the Dragon population was gone. Any species is going to migrate and move around and you'll see interbreeding here and there but not in the magnitude as the species was coming to a close as a standard creature here on Earth. From about 4,000 years ago to about 600 years ago you see a GIANT spike in the number of hybrid Dragons. Yes, it seems like a large time-span but not really when you think about the amount of time Dragons have been here.
There are a few reasons that I have heard why the Dragon population dwindled and since there are thousands of species that have gone completely extinct since the Earth began I can only regurgitate the information we've heard.
#1 A virus or bacteria infected the Dragon population (and likely other species similar to Dragons as well) and started to eradicate the population increasing in rate over time
#2 The religious & secular views raised to include Dragons in their vision of "unworthy" creatures and were slain by religious & secular groups including knights
#3 As the human race grew and populated areas larger creatures like Dragons, Wooly Mammoths, etc were killed and distributed as food, clothing, material for shelter, and their bones used as tools for religious use and day-to-day use
This seems to be pretty typical across the board with many species that are now extinct and I believe, as many in the paranormal community do, that all species of Dragons are probably not completely extinct and there are still some of the smaller variety (under 1ft) that still live in small groups in many places across the world.
Why would Dragons interbreed as their numbers dwindled? Referring to the aforementioned reasons given for species extinction as civilizations moved in large creatures moved out. Dragons aren't the only species forced to give up their home and move into new territory. If you took 100 Dragons (or 100 of any species for that matter) that were used to a certain area and climate and they were forced to move 100 miles South where it was warmer or cooler than they were used to not all are going to survive and adapt. As they are moved time and time again as human civilizations grew and expanded they are going to encounter others of their species and as their own race lessens they are going to interbreed.
To use Caiyros example of Native Americans we encroached on their country, as their numbers dwindled and they were forced to congregate thousands died for various reasons (pretty much all of the reasons stated above for reasons of extinction if you replace knights with the white-Americans) and some tribes merged to interbreed and some Native Americans didn't go to reservations and interbred with the white-Americans (I have this in my own bloodline on my father's side)... and some stayed true to their specific tribe and those numbers are significantly less than just 600 years ago!!! We're talking 600 years and look what has happened as opposed to what has happened to some species over thousands of years.
So why do these things happen? I'm not qualified to say as I wasn't here when it happened. I can only defer to what has been speculated and what, according to history, makes sense.

So could it be that certain color dragons were indigenous to certain regions?

That's absolutely right. You saw races like Blue & Copper in warm climate areas, White in cold to freezing temperature areas, Brass in desert regions, Bronze living near gulfs and seashores, Red and Silver both inland and on seashores where they could find caves, Green in areas dense with forests and Gold spread across these regions however not typically in freezing or high-elevation regions.

Dragons (with the exception of a Black) are sociable creatures and enjoy companionship. To repeat a phrase Magnolia
has used, they are the puppy dogs of the spirit world. I don't really think of them as high maintenance, but they do like for you to
interact with them. Wraiths are low maintenance as you can get.

Alex is right, they are puppy dogs when it comes to their loyalty, compassion and spirit. They want your approval and care very much about your opinion of them and how you feel. I think if you want a Dragon that is very chatty a Sun Dragon (Copper and Brass) would probably be the most appropriate. Brass are highly talkative and Copper are trivia-buffs who enjoy learning and conversation.

Thanks Alex,I guess i shouldnt of said "high maintenece" exactly, I just dont have time to spend with all the vessels i already have and didnt want to add to that..I think a chatty one would be great or even one of the Coppers,they sound brainy .......But, right now a wraith would probably be the best for me , protection wise...I will have to read up, more on these...thanks again
