I've played a halfling paladin with a copper dragon mount and the roleplay experience was quite rich.Game balance-wise be sure the DM gives you all the benfits of having a dragon mount along with all the drawbacks. This will include a dragon personality that may or may not be willing to do everything the Paladin rider wants, has it's own demands and whimsical wants, and needs a lair with a sizeable treasure. Your paladin should be spending alot of off-time taking care of his mount, upkeep of a  permanent household and protecting it.A permanent residence may also later have lasting repercusions within the local area (political, disasters, raids, rumors, etc.) and potential bad ones if the Paladin also fails upholding The Code.Dragons are powerful but depending on the situation may be targeted by enemies who consider a dragon a powerful threat. I found this to be the case many times and so having and keeping a mount may be difficult. There aren't too many Wizards that wouldn't target the dragon with a powerful spell turn One, or a large monster that wouldn't consider a dragon the primary threat.Best thing to do for a permanent place is to have a lair sponsored by a large clergy/temple that is already staffed, you just pay for upkeep. As for keeping the dragon alive in combat, well that's another story. When I played my paladin and his mount they were devout cowards so they lasted considerably longer than most, lol. Best of luck! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
