I wonder if a Wizard with the Dragon Familiar feat is how Sorcerers end up with a draconic bloodline...
Seriously though I think that maybe a hybrid of both ideas, don't make the player spend Gold or Exp but make his character invest his off-time in raising it and allow him to occasionally stumble upon a quest hook while searching for food/resources for his "pet" (call it a familiar all you want but it is a pet) maybe an ambushed patrol or group of merchants are stumbled upon and their cargo/attackers must be found...
As mentioned above by [MENTION=98644]Jacob[/MENTION] it depends on whether you think the Sorcerer should find a Toad or just sit in one spot and have the Toad find him...
