In Harry Potter, there are ten different breeds. Hagrid motherd a black Hungarian Horntail named Norbert in the first book - "The Sorcerer's Stone." In the "Goblet of Fire," a green Common Welsh Green, blue grey Swedish Short-Snout and red Chinese Fireball were part of one of the tests. There are also six more mentioned in the Ministery of Magic handbook - They are the Antipodean Opaleye, Hebridean Black, Norwegian Ridgeback, Peruvian Vipertooth, Romanian Longhorn, and Ukrainian Ironbelly. I couldn't find anything about the last six, but here is a description of the first four.

Hungarian Horntail - this black and lizardlike dragon is considered to be the most dangerous of its species. It has yellow eyes, bronze horns and spikes along its lengthy tail. Its fire has a range of up to fifty feet. The eggs are colored like cement and the shells are very hard. The Horntail's prey includes goats, sheep and sometimes humans.

Common Welsh Green - from Wales, a verdant green like the grass of its native country, this dragon possesses a melodius roar. Its fire is exhaled in thin jets. The eggs are an earthy brown color and speckled with green. Its preferred prey is sheep.

Swedish Short-Snout - its silver-blue skin is much sought after to manufacture protective shields and gloves. The Short-snout exhales a bright blue flame that reduces both bone and timber to ash in seconds.

Chinese Fireball - a dragon with smooth scales, colored scarlet with a fringe of gold spikes encircling its face. Its protruberent eyes are set about a snubby snout. They weigh between two to four tons and produce a mushroom-shaped flame. Their crimson eggs are flecked with gold, a shell very highly prized by Chinese wizards. The Fireball eats most mammals, especially favoring pigs and humans.
