If you breed an Albino to a Leucistic all the offspring will be Dbl. Hets. or Het. for both mutations. Both are simple recessive traits. It would look like this on a Punnett Square - 7th grade Biology.
A = Albino L = Leucistic
An Albino = aaLL A Leucistic = aaLL
AAll
Albino would be aaLL as you suggest, but leucistic would be AAll, not aaLL.
______
aaLL/ AaLl = 100% Dbl. Het. offspring
Actually, aaLL x AaLl would result in Normals and albinos, not 100% double hets. From the cross you suggest (aaLL x AaLl) the following genotypes could potentiall result:
AaLL = Normal, het albino
aaLL = Albino
AaLl = Normal, double het
aaLl = Albino, het leucistic
Maybe what you meant to say was aaLL X AAll would result in AaLl (all double hets)?
