WHISKERS
Whiskers should be long and resemble those of a walrus long
whiskers are a sign of good health. The eyes should be clear
and bright albinos always have transparent eyes but blood
vessels at the back of the eyes give them the appearance
of being red or pink, Sandy's and coloureds have either
ruby red or black, whereas polecats and silvers always have
black. The nose should show no signs of discharge, on albinos
you only get a pink nose, Sandy's a nice pale pink or brown
nose is normal, on polecats a black nose is favoured but
you can get pink, silvers have either pink black or patchy,
whereas coloureds come with a variety pink black brown and
patchy.
FACE
The face itself is marked on shape and colour the shape
of a jills head is long and pointed almost weasel like and
very petite whereas a hob has rounder and shorter head a
lot more masculine looking. The colour of the face depends
on the type of ferret for instance a polecat should have
a full mask, above the mask is a lighter patch called a
crown some judges will not accept a ferret with out this
personally I don't mind either way.
