I don't find it necessary to fully gene up every dragon. There are dragons in my lair that look just fine as basics with no genes or just one gene.
On the other hand I'm totally willing to put genes on any dragon I feel would benefit from them, gen 1 or not. After all, it's not like my treasure's going to do much good just hanging out in my vault, it's not like there's interest or anything.
