I have been avoiding caramels and spiders, though I'd LOVE to work with caramels. But I'm currently up to my neck in black pastels.
Not Lessers themselves. Just super lessers/BELs

I'm a strong believer in selective breeding, and with the success that spiders have as a morph vs the extreme cases, I really feel comfortable working with it in the future. As for the others? It wouldn't prevent me working with them if I were to add them to my plans. The known lethal combos (spider x sable) I'd simply avoid. If I really liked a certain combination and there were known healthy specimens I would be comfortable taking the risk.

Any time you breed the babies can be messed up. For years I have been breeding spider and spider combos, cinnys and cinny combos. Never had a genetic problem with any of the resulting babies.
That said, I have had plenty of problems with pastel, pinstripe, yellow belly and normal babies.
If you are super worried about making babies with issues, my advice to you is don't breed at all.

Understood. I'd just always heard the bug-eyed thing associated with solid blacks, not solid whites.

nope, no bug eye problems with cinnys or black pastels, just lesser/butter x lesser/butter. How ever in real life, I have yet to see a bug eye lesserxlesser, seen quite a few with no problems, always wondered how often it actually happens.

aren't all morphs some sort of genetic flaw if it is not a normal then it has a genetic flaw right
