A leucistic male (top) and a normal male (bottom).

Leucistic specimens of this breed is really rare.
 
Too rare to try to breed into a line I presume?
It seems recessive. Thusfar, only normal grey specimens have been born with him being the father.
You only need one specimen to do so I'd say.

Yes I understand but you've only to linebreed the offspring to get Leucistic ones.

If it's just recessive, than you could do it like that. But it's harder when it turns out to be double till triple recessive. And it seems like that's the case.
It's not always that simple...
