Blue is recessive to Black, so you know a Blue has 2 copies of the dilute allele (d). Since the Blue only has dilute alleles, it can only give a dilute allele to its offspring. So yes, if your Black buck has a Blue parent, he has a dilute allele. If bred to a rabbit that also carries dilute, he can have dilute babies. He might be carrying chocolate as well. Chocolate is recessive and is fairly uncommon in most breeds. Some relatively uncommon recessives can run around in lines for generations before you get the right pairing and voila! - babies of a color that leave you scratching your head and saying, "where the heck did that come from?!"
