Dragons vary a great deal depending on who's writing the story. The lack of a breath weapon in wyverns is an old trope. I think it's from DnD. It's one of those deals where clearly defining information on dragons overall is next to impossible and you can only have definitive information within a specific work of fiction.

Most of the stuff that I've seen that includes wyverns being a subrace of dragons often just says that they're smaller and weaker. Sometimes being poisonous is included. And rarely they don't have breath weapons. More often I hear that their breath is weaker, but not nonexistent.
