Default Blueberries in winter

This is my first year growing blueberries. I have two plants
appropriate for So. Calif. Coastal. Are they supposed to lose their
leaves? Go dormant? Or just keep plugging along at reduced pace?

One of the bushes was COVERED w/berries when I bought it, so I hope
Spring will bring new blooms.

The other (Sunshine) frecently started to look shabby. Both bushes
have exactly the same conditions, so I was worried. I gave it some
more food and it seems to be rallying.

I am concerned not to confuse "normal" Winter (such as it is in this
area) behaviour with problem.

TIA
