The Albino and Pied genes are both recessive so your offspring would all look normal but would be 100% het Pieds and 100% het Albinos. Now you could breed the offspring back to one of either parents and hopefully get some visible albinos or pieds depending on which parent you breed it to (if you breed it to the pied you are hoping for a visable pied, there is still not shot for the double combination yet). You then hope that some of your visible pied or albino offspring are hets for albino. Which then you would breed this offspring to the other parent and hope to get a double combination.



You could also breed the hets to each other, however, keep in mind that brother to sister inbreeding is closest genetic breeding set which may pay back with deformities, but you have that double combination in the shots, even it it is a 1/32 or 1/64 (can't remember off the top of my head).



Double recessive is the hardest double combination you can make but it pays off if you can get it. Once you have it you can knock the odds down to 1/4 by breeding it to a double het.



Hope this helps,

Matt
