If you get that test done, you will know for sure. Here is a link to some companies that perform that DNA test:

The health problems others have described in this thread usually start around the time of transition from puppyhood to adulthood. I would definitely recommend that you have your blue puppy tested, and if his results come back as d d (homozygous dilute), you should definitely stop breeding his parents and not breed his siblings either, since they could be carriers.
