Prior to The Shattering, this whelpling was found from the Adolescent Whelps and Dreaming Whelps in Swamp of Sorrows. These creatures no longer exist.
As of Patch 4.0.3, the Tiny Emerald Whelpling drops from the Noxious Whelps found in Northern Feralas.

The emerald whelp may well be my favorite dragonling. Aside from being the toughest whelp to get, it’s green, and my favorite color just happens to be green. No, wait… blue! *launches into the air* AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! *falls to her death* (If you get the reference, you get a gold star!)
"Please, Ysera, I won't kill another Green Dragon ever again in my spacegoatly life if you give me one of your babies!"
Ysera really could have saved more of her flight earlier had she not let me suffer for 36 hours of farming for this guy.
Hah, now the whelps should be scared into dropping the emerald whelpling! According to my calculations, I should have a 32.33, repeating of course, percent chance of it dropping.
As I moonfired one particular whelp, I /laugh at him and went to loot. As I did so, he killed one of his own. Then I saw a brilliant yellow light appear around him as when you learn a pattern. Then he summons a cute green whelp and flies away.
Going to go insane soon...
If you want to farm this pet then I'd suggest putting on some tunes and having some food handy as you might not be one of the lucky ones who get this in under 500 kills.
Having a friend kill on the east side of the lake helps, as it makes the whelps insta respawn, as there's a min. number to alive whelps.
I read up on this pet earlier today because I wanted a fly'er that I could put together with my Lil Ragnaros and Cinder Kitten. Strangely enough, it only took me about 3 hours to get one to drop.
At first I started with my Death Knight but I found him running or flying around looking for more to kill so I switched to my Hunter and turned on Dragonkin tracking. MUCH faster to track and kill!
So far I'm about 10 hours into this grind, about 3,000 dead. . .and no whelping. And I got a dark whelping just lazily killing the searing whelps in dustwallow while trying to farm a rare Spawn of Onyxia. Oh RNG!
But dont give up, it will finaly drop. More fun to farm it then bay it ;)
just got mine tonight grinding around the lake only took 97 kills this time about 10k kills out of all my grinding since vanilla for this damn whelp
Circled the lake killing the whelps... I got one after about an hour, decided to continue farming to get a second one and got it after 15min!
I took the advie of circling lake jademir and got it in 8 minutes...the one whelp that had mine was hiding underwater :D.
Try an Emerald Whelpling (with Emerald Presence and Emerald Dream) plus Apocalypse to level any level pet against the Pandaren Air Spirit tamer. The Emerald Whelpling will easily solo the first two and allow apocalypse to kill the final pet.
A very happy day when I caught him a few years ago... finally! Now one of my main pets for battles. The HOT + Shield often mean I can keep him alive the entire fight without much efford. Yon and the Air Spirit Tamers have been solo'd several times. Very useful against flying pets with its reduced damage + strong attack.
