If you mix white with any other colour, you will usually end up with pieds. Pieds include tuxedos, white wings, or other white markings.

If you want tibetan tuxes, you can breed tibetans with white, or tibetan tux to tibetan tux.

You are more likely to find dotted whites, which are mostly white with a black dot on their heads.

I have several pied/tuxedo birds and they seem to pass it along just fine (base color follows inheritance rules for wild, tibetan, Italian and is separate). If you want a real white bird you’ll need a homozygous English white/jumbo white/dotted white or whatever. Heterozygous dotted white are pied/tuxedo and some white genes like pied wing white never throw all white even in homozygous form so your bird may be carrying something like pied wing white so even if bred to a homozygous white male she may never throw all white. But if you like tuxes she’ll splash paint all over even if bred to a non white bird. Pretty but makes feather sexing hard, but Tibetans already can’t be feather sexed anyway.
