workin with fur

ok heres my problem I am making a bear the kind that will be on an
dowel and board as a stand.. i scored a real fur coat at the thrift
store for a song because it was fallin apart literally at the seams i
believe it is rabbit, I know fur is BADDD but i look at it as i did
not do the deed so i feel i may as well make use of it.. some told me
i shold back the fur with some backing such as a muslin with tackin
spray..when i tore it apart i noticed it already has a backing
attached to it but it does seen to tear easily if you pull it.. so my
question is should i add more backing to it to make more easy to
handle??and also is therea way to keep it from shedding ?please
help ..jennifer's fabricated dreams
