If you are not planning on breeding only albinos then it will take a good number of years since the paradox doesnt seem to show up in het animals (I could be wrong).
What I would do, given the resources is to breed each animal to an unrelated albino. This is where it is expensive as you will need three unrelated additional albinos to breed to your three paradox albinos.
If the trait is dominant or co-dominant then you should see paradox albinos in each of the litters. I highly doubt its dominent or co-dominent.
Although this may not be outbred enough for some, I would then setup various parings of the offspring from the three litters. If the trait is recessive you should see paradox albinos in 25% of all of the pairings.
I may not have thought this out fully but this is some what the way I would be going about it. Making het. albinos first would deffinately be longer, but would probably be easier to outbreed and expand the genetic pool.
