The recessive gene that results in a blue born Yorkie pup must be passed to offspring by both parents to express. It is also possible that all the pups you have bred from that sire and/or dam are 'carriers' of the gene. Both sire and dam of that litter must be altered and not bred again to prevent creating carrier pups as well as avoid breeding another blue born pup. You might want to re-visit the lines you were breeding, including your second bitch, if you are concerned she might be a carrier herself as well. Do check out KendraE's posts...she is very knowledgeable. I am sorry, and I hope your little blue does well. I would like to see pix...
