The source of Dragons - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tolkien left out a lot of stuff (which is partly why this forum is here!) Nonetheless, it would be nice to know. About Smaug, I think he was one of the lesser dragons that raviged the country in the third age and fled to the east at the destruction of Morgoth's realm. And maybe Morgoth did create the dragons; Glaurung would've been given the title of 'Father', being the first, and the rest could've been created over time. That would explain why there's no females (sexist dark lord!).
Does anyone even know if the dragons did or could produce?
As usual, there is no proof (I think) that this theory is true. Any other guesses?
