Of course! That's what the gene scrolls are there for, to be used on dragons. I've done whole breeding projects to get the exact colors I want so I can gene them and get the perfect scry. I could probably point out a dozen dragons in my lair that I've gened up from scratch who AREN'T g1s. And a few older fellas who've gotten makeovers, too.
I think it's silly to feel like using genes on a g2+ dragon is a "waste" as if g1s are inherently superior just because they're expensive. My dragons aren't investments or displays of wealth, they're pretty dragons I want in my lair. I understand why the g1 enthusiasts do think this way, but I can't empathize. Just because g1s are special doesn't mean non-g1s aren't worth loving!

I didn't even realize this was a mindset. xD
I absolutely gene my gen+2 dragons. I'm all about visuals so if I like a color combo but not the genes, I'll give the genes I want for them. I've got several dragons with their "future" selves in their bios.

Most of the time the dragons I buy already have the genes they need, but more recently, they have been the end result of breeding projects. VERY RARELY do those have the genes I need them to, lol. I tend to like XYZ's that are inactive before I get to them, so I do gene them.

If I care about the dragon, you bet it's *** it's gonna get gened... <3

Absolutely. I like to scry from scratch and hope a dragon exists with those colors, and then start spending money. Other times a dragon demands a makeover. Why limit myself?
G1s with good colors are usually expensive, and I’m not risking an ugly hatchling when I can sell the egg and get several pretty dragons with the money I’ve earned. I also prefer dragons whose history I can trace, so that’s another factor.

Yes, I don't really care for G1s, I just grab any dragon that can match a skin or that suddenly gives me an idea for apparel.

This fellow was a triple basic guardian fodder rescue when I got him XD
So although I don't often do so, clearly I will XD
