Fair enough in the sense that their exact origin isn't stated so I can't point to a passage and call you a damn casual. I will note that breeding them doesn't mean they didn't start as some kind of ainur or whatever.

I'm curious how you think Ancalagon the Black is a pure product of animal husbandry though.

It's the same kind of deal as with the orcs. Morgoth couldn't create anything, but he could twist existing creations into exciting new forms.

And he starts with creatures of power... Which in Tolkien are always creatures of spirit, especially in the First Age.

Well, no, he created orcs before he did dragons, and there was definitely nothing spiritual about the orcs.
