Pot luck - probably take after their parents.

Glad you're not intending to breed and are just curious!

To simplify it: it depends on if there is a dilute gene running in both dogs ancestry.....and both dogs carries the dilute gene, then only pups that inherit the blue gene from each parent would be blue so in short... Highly unlikely but if the stars aligned you could get one but not a whole littler of blue no.

Probably they'd all end up being black or black and white, since I guess the blue gene isn't dominant. But I have no idea, that's just a guess.

If both parents carry the blue gene you might get some blue pups. But most likely your dogs would produce black & brown brindles.

What nosipo said. If your dogs parents are red or brindle you might get one or two like that. My girls dark brindle and her mother was a red brindle and her dad a dark brindle. She had a brindle sister and a white sister with dark brindle and another red brindle and white. Another example is my black lab who had a yellow father, she was paired with a choc lab and had black, yellow and brown puppies.
