Trading dragons would kill this game. Freemium games rely on people buying the premium currency(gems in this case) and breeding dagons is the one thing people spend the most on(ESPECIALLY limited dragons which people know might never come back).

If you take that off by allowing people to trade you basically remove profits from Backflip, which in turn means that they'll stop updating the game or maintaining it at all.

Charging gems for the trade wouldn't work either unless the gem cost of the trade would equal that of buying the dragon but then... What's the point? Just buy it.

Aside from that, Dragonvale is a Breeding game... Getting the dragons by trading would make it pretty boring...
