The lowest park level that you can breed the is level 11, at that level the only dragon that you shouldn't be able to get yet is the Rainbow dragon (available level 12), every other possibility (including Sun/Moon which are available level 10) is exactly the same. I didn't get an Emerald in my first 3 tries (it was my 8th try I think) and I received one Sun dragon while breeding for Emerald and while it was annoying (I already have 2) it didn't stop me from breeding 2 Emeralds (1 already on the island and 1 currently breeding).

Backflip released Emerald on the 17th giving us exactly 2 weeks to breed it which is a fairly standard time for many limited dragons. This is a lot better than the Leap Year dragon which was only available for a few days. I hope that you manage to breed one before it expires but if you don't you shouldn't worry to much about it there will be a Pearl dragon to breed for and the Emerald dragon should return next year.
