Some silvers have guard hairs that are white and silvery everywhere on the body, and some silvers are sometimes confused with DEWS because some silvers have all white guard hairs everywhere except their tail, which has only a few silver guard hairs. The silver ferret lacks a full mask and usually only has a few smudges of silver around the eyes.
