I want to know what a good hoard would be for an adult dragon of any type.

Look up the dragons CR
Go to the back of the Draconium
Find Treasear for that CR
Whala, one hoard.

look up the CR of the dragon.

Go to the DMG, look up the treasure value for that CR, multiply by the amount listed in the dragon description (triple value I beleive). You cna either assign by average GP value, or roll randomly, and for any coins or items rolled, multiply by three (so rolling '2 medium magical items' becomes 6 medium magical items, roll them individually from there)

I preffer to assign, make sure the dragon has stuff tht's useful to it.. and uses that stuff in combat.

I personally don't have the Draconomicon, so I use the 3x CR method, but since that tends to pull up a lot of art, and not many gems (dragons, in my mind, have lots of gems), I'll sometimes arbitrarily rule a certain roll comes up gems. And I'll often "cash in" some of the platinum for lesser coins- giving up a single platinum piece will give you a thousand pieces of copper! It also complicates the matter of how to move the treasure ...
