Be careful farming for this little guy; mixed among the Crimson, Flamesnorting, and Red Whelps are Lost Whelps. They are shadow-immune whelps with no chance to drop the pet, and as far as I've seen, they don't share spawn locations with the other three.

The farm path is large, but it's not too tedious for anyone of decent level to handle them. Stop by the cave to the east for the Razormaw Matriarch spawn as well!

Best spot to farm is at 67.22, 47.14 (if your not after the dark whelping as well).  Slavehunters and whelpstealers come to YOU here and respawn VERY quickly.

Finally! Somewhere along the lines of 35k+ mobs killed for this pet. Can't give an entirely accurate count because I didn't get an addon until I'd been at it for a good 10 hours. I averaged 1k mobs/hour farming on the road where the dragonkin and orcs fight each other. First day I tried after aoe looting dropped I got him in 45 minutes. With aoe looting my average was about 1800 mobs/hour. If you're someone who is very unlucky like me, silently thank bliz for aoe looting and get back to it!

This site is what prompted my Whelp collecting. I saw the "Got Whelp?" shirt, and thought, "Oh noes, I got no whelps." So I went to farm this red one, which I got pretty quickly the first night. So I thought, I better do a hard one next to not get too complacent. So I went to the Emerald prepared for a long grind (didn't drop from adolecents then). Got it the next night. The Dark took 2 days, but then I got the Azure the same night I got the Dark one. So 4 days: 4 whelps! Got Whelp? Yeppers!

12K kills and 11 hours of farming and dealing with toolbags that want to hog the entire area of adds for themselves. Forget it, bought it off the auction house.

After feeling completely cursed by the RNG gods.. it finally dropped. 11hrs later.. 23,124 loots and the loss of my sanity is what it took. Bring bag space, a vendor mount, some good music and ALOT of patience! 67,47 at the Green Belt in Wetlands, running between the 3 mobs with the extra wide arcane explosion as a 90 mage is the way to go for maximum respawns. Good luck with the hunt to all. May you not have to work as hard as i did lol :D

Finally had one drop for me after thousands of kills, SO HAPPY. I highly recommend getting the spot around 67,47 (I think thats it, where the orcs and dragonkin are fighting).  The spawn rate is brilliant there, aoe them down and auto loot. There are two small groups on either side of them, I found that if I ran up and quickly got those, the pack in the middle spawned faster and with more of them in one hit. I got into a cycle of left pack, middle, right pack, middle, etc. Good luck!

I found the perfect spot to farm for this guy, and I had mine within an hour of finding the spot. Follow these directions and you will have a red whelp of your own;

Go to the wetlands. If you go over to the area that leads to the giant gates which leads to Grim Batol, you will see several broken down wagons. There is 3 groups of battles, 1-2 dragonkin and 2-3 dragonmaw orcs fighting. If you kill the mobs who are fighting, they will respawn within seconds of their death, giving you tons to loot!

This is your daily reminder to check the Auction House for any pet you think is incredibly rare -- I just found a fully leveled Crimson Whelpling on the AH for 15k. Insane.

Still plugging away at this little darling. Keeping my fingers crossed. According to rarity I am only at abouy 650 tries.I am starting to feel sorry for all the bodies I am leaving behind. Almost want to start a new alt with skinning.

Update: at 1700+ and I did infact start a skinning DK to clean up all the poor little bodies.

Woot!! Finally after 8892 attempts and 12:45:17 spent farming I finally got this little guy!!

Got mine after about 3-4 hours of farming at 67,47 in Wetlands. Thanks for the coords posted in this forum. I was bidding on this little guy earlier for 1000g and got outbid, then it got relisted for 4000g, so I went out to see if I could get him myself. 

 

After I got him, I was so excited I wanted to see how far my luck could run, so I started farming Emerald Whelpling and I boom, I got 2 in back to back kills! #Awesome

Currently leveling this little guy right now... totally worth the 8k gold I spent on it. The self-heal is magnificent and this pet deals a fairly nice amount of damage.

I FINALLY got this today. I have farmed for this whelp for months. 1 out of 10000 is about right.. Keep at it! Make sure to farm on a skinner. I made great $ by selling drops and skins. And if your guild doesn't have the skinning achievement 'Skinnin for a livin' this is great grinding for that.

Hailing from the Wetlands, this young dragon is just learning how to hunt, breathe fire, and go on cute destructive rampages.
