Your second question answers your first one.  The two black dots in the
right ear mean your Roscoe comes from Marshall farms.  A Marshall ferret
will always have the two black dots in the right ear and may have a
single black dot between two back toes.  That one tells Marshall which
tech did the neuter and descent operation if a problem ever arrises.
