My puppy's adult teeth are in, baby teeth stuck & blue. Normal?

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 5 days old

Enzo’s adult canines are coming out but his deciduous canines are still there and they’re turning blue. Will I need to get them extracted or is this normal and they will fall out?

This is not normal but it is common. The deciduous teeth may fall out but they may not. I cannot tell you what will happen. I suggest you just monitor the teeth and if by 8 months of age they have not come out on their own then you will need to have them extracted.
