Can a pair of abino mice produce brown mice among their progeny?

how is this likely?Can a pair of abino mice produce brown mice among their progeny?
Albinism is usually displayed in individuals who are homogeneous for that allele, so both individuals would only have the albino allele, and therefore if you do a cross between those individuals all their offspring would be albino. However, if you cross an individual with albinism with one who does not carry the allele for albinism, all of their offspring would not be albino because the allele for albinism is recessive.
