[RPG] Can Dragonblooded Characters Take Draconomicon Dragon Feats

I'm making a Fireblood Dwarf, and I'm wondering if I, as a Dragonblooded creature, qualify for taking Dragon feats like Improved Speed and Rapidstrike?

No.

While the fireblood dwarf (Dragon Magic 7) has the subtype dragonblood (DM 4) (and, obviously, dwarf), the fireblood dwarf's type remains humanoid not dragon. Only creatures with the actual dragon type--not just the dragonblood subtype--meet the prerequisites of feats that have as a prerequisite the type dragon, like the feats Improved Speed (Draconomicon 71) and Rapidstrike (73).

Further, were a PC to qualify for such feats because of his type (e.g. when he advances a level the PC is the subject of the spell essence of the dragon [trans] (Races of the Dragon 112-3)) the player must still seek the DM's permission to take the feat if the feat's in the category monstrous (Draconomicon 66).

The dragonblood subtype, however, does allow a creature to take feats that have the dragonblood subtype as a prerequisite, such as some feats presented in Dragon Magic and Races of the Dragon.
