I am sorry, I am really trying to get what you are saying here but it must just be way to early for my brain cause I am not understanding...

Are you saying that just because we say albino does not mean we are talking about the same type of albino in both animals?? If that is what you are saying then yes, I agree. That was why I clarified that if it is, genetically, the same type of albinism (i.e. T-) between both parents then the offspring will also be albino. If the type of albinism is different then obviously there will be a non compatibility and the offspring would effectively be double het. But that same principle applies to within species as well. Like if you breed an T- ball to a LA ball you get double hets that are phenotypically normal.
