As long as you get one hit in on a monster, you get XP when it dies. It doesn't have to be the last hit... just any hit will do.
And which dragon are you referring to? Erathsmedor? He's worth an ungodly amount of XP, to be sure, but he's not available as early in the game as you appear to be talking about.
