This is incorrect, we have verified that a starter WILL hide Fur, Eye Color, Ear, Tail, Whisker Color and Whisker Shape. The only traits a starter may or may not hide are Eye Shape, Pupil Size and Shade. Except in cases such as the Lazie Dazies where a shade was guaranteed to be hiding.
As for if the starter in this scenario hides white or better whiskers, there is a high chance of it hiding white because it is the most dominant it will also show in the starters more than say blonde streaked. As Wendi has stated she does plan to test them further to verify as well.
I once had a starter I had partnered to a Siamese Flame with Odyssey Sublime eyes that I knew were pure due to breeding back and such in that line. I kept getting Odyssey Sublime back from the pairing so I decided to breed back with the same results, although pulling more traits I was looking for. Once I had a solid line from the starter of the traits it was hiding I wanted I went on to test the starters eyes further with an eye more recessive than the Odyssey Sublime and guess what? I got Odyssey Sublime back again, meaning the starter and who I had partnered her with had the Odyssey Sublime. So it does happen that you breed the same trait to the starter that it hides, it isn't common but the more dominant a trait is the better chance of it happening.
