Blood of Dragons:
A dragon disciple adds his level to his sorcerer levels when determining the powers gained from his bloodline. If the dragon disciple does not have levels of sorcerer, he instead gains bloodline powers of the draconic bloodline, using his dragon disciple level as his sorcerer level to determine the bonuses gained. He must choose a dragon type upon gaining his first level in this class and that type must be the same as his sorcerer type. This ability does not grant bonus spells to a sorcerer unless he possesses spell slots of an appropriate level. Such bonus spells are automatically granted if the sorcerer gains spell slots of the spell's level.
Would a crossblooded sorcerer gain progression in their second bloodline in addition to their draconic one?
As it is written, I believe so. If I were the GM, I would rule that only the dragon bloodline powers increase. How does being a DD make my orc blood more powerful? It doesn’t. I was looking for this earlier and don't believe that I found any official answer.

The bloodline is draconic, so it should improve. As the crossblooded sorcerer can choose bloodline abilities each time one is gained I guess they improve all of their bloodline.
Splitting powers up seems weird as the crossblooded sorcerer could choose a bloodline power that is not draconic and if it is ruled it doesn't improve then arguably he doesn't meet the requirements to use it at all!
So by extension, if ruled as the latter, draconic bloodline powers must be chosen to gain anything new - which just seems wrong.
I read it that you have to be pure dragon blooded. Because as a crossblooded sorc you are not really dragonblooded and thus will not qualify for dragon disciple.
May be RAW, may be a houserule but that's how we handle it: You want to be dragon disciple, you have to be pure dragonblooded or not sorc at all.
RAW yes it advances the second bloodline. But as you can see, a few people have different ideas on how to handle it when it comes to Crossblooded Sorcerers and Dragon Disciple.
