It would be nice to know what other newbies have experienced with this topic.
Woah there !
Whoever told you that occasionally , now and then dominant traits can be hidden behind a recessive needs to take classes themselves. This is probably the result of misreading a pedigree or the trait charts. I'd stick my neck out and say this just can't happen as the server "knows" the dominance order and cannot provide otherwise.
Also you can totally forget about the father being the only one to pass hidden traits. Absolutely untrue, both genders have equal chances of passing their hidden traits.
I just hope that the person(s) who provided you with these informations aren't giving breeding classes.
So, unless you misunderstood what they were explaining then i strongly suggest that you discreetly find another mentor.
Anyhow good luck with all your projects and i'm sure that you'll soon have it all worked out
