100% het for albino means this carries the albino gene but does not display it. You can get 100% het albinos by breeding an albino to either normal or het.

Breeding a 100% het albino to normal will give you 50% albino hets and 50% normals. All offspring will look the same therefore ALL offspring will be considered 50% possible hets until proven.

Proven means they would need to produce albinos in the future. The best way to prove this out will be to breed it to an albino. If an albino pops out then that particular hog no longer is 50% possible het it is now considered 100% het.

It took me a few times to look at a couple of different explinations to clear things up.

Hope this helps.
