It is a genetic mutation that may or may not have serious health problems. My heart goes out to you. I could not put it down either. A breeder owed me a puppy for a stud fee. When I went to pick my puppy, she had a litter born that day by another stud and bitch. I was very upset when she said she was going to put down one of the puppies because it was blue born. I told her I would take the blue puppy instead of one from my stud's litter. She agreed as long as I would take it without papers, she wanted to pretend it was never born. I intended to just keep the puppy myself because I knew it was at risk to have health problems later on. My sisters daughter begged me for the puppy. Fast forward to today, my niece has the puppy, 7months old and very healthy with a white silky coat and blue green eyes. It is a mutation and the same pair should not be bred again. There are many threads on here about blue born pups. My niece did a lot of research and still wanted the puppy. She in her 30s married no kids by choice and they can afford it if she should need special care.
