Yup, I'm glad you did your research Brian. It isn't a guarantee, even a grown dog doesn't come with that, but can look at the parents and other litters and see you have a solid foundation for that dog.

The color of a dog doesn't ruin what they were bred for. But if what you're breeding for is color, and you ignore working ability, temperament and conformation, you'll get junk. It'll be blue junk, and even in the trash pile you'll find a treasure every so often, but a hog hunter will be much happier going to a breeder with proven working lines.

And you really do need to dig into what they mean when a breeder says their dog works. Anyone can say their dog hunts hogs. But they should be able to show you multiple pictures of the dog in the woods, give you a description of their hunting style, tell you how often they get out, etc. A dedicated breeders won't be insulted by the questions, they should be more than happy to  share their dog's accomplishments with you.
