Correction: If the male was heterozygous and he was bred to two normal unrelated females, then 50% of their offspring would be heterozygous. You would have no way of knowing which of the offspring were heterozygous. If the male were an albino (as stated in my previous post), then 100% of the offspring would be heterozygous. This breeding (to the albino) would guarantee that the odds for albinos in this next generation would be 25% albino.
