I've been interested in getting myself some Araucanas, and I was wondering what a cross between my Amaraucana roo to an Araucana (ear tufts, rumpless) hen would produce. Thanks!
 
Rumplessness is dominant over the tailed gene, so I would expect most of the offspring to be rumpless.
Tufts, though dominant (incomplete dominant) are subject to a wide range of phenotypes. I think it would depend on how the muff and beard gene work in Ameraucanas, which I have no idea about.
Though there are no formal studies, I've read where a lot of Araucana breeders say using a tufted cock yields more tufted offspring than tufted hens (when breeding tufted to clean faced).
