I honestly think "Morphs" have given reason for more outcrossing than inbreeding. Many "morphs" like albino and Jungle for example require a good bit of outbreeding in order to breed unrealted animals carrying similar traits together in order to get the end resuilt making the bloodlines stronger if anything.

If there is a "morph" that requires inbreeding, im not familiar withit. The only thing that comes close would be pastels, which are your beloved normals that have been bred back to mother and daughter repeatedly in order to reduce black. This has been done by "line breeding" the best of each litter to the best parent generation after generation, or best two siblings bred to eachother. Those situations all produce "normals" that have been inbred....nor morphs that are inbred.
