Waaaaaaaaaaaay too many to list here. I would use Moscow for the exotics that can't be found elsewhere*, like their chinchilla, which is superb.
http://www.hideandfur.com/inventory/Dressed.html Fur dubbings are a learning and trail experience, along with some research. Start with common ones- fox, mink, badger, possum, rabbit, squirrel. Once you master those, try others, like chinchilla, seal, PB, etc. *One is not limited to Moscow. I found another place with good deals: http://www.flytyingfurs.com/products.htm It's going to take someone to volunteer to meister, then swappers can be shoppers, and then wheeler-dealers (adding their own stocks) "I'll call your kit muskrat 1/4 and raise you a hare's mask and some squirrel blended dubbing." And rope-dubbing makes working with furs a whole new deal, anyway. Getting fur-on-skin allows you to hackle flies with the guard hairs (once you master the tip-rope and the butt-rope). Guard hairs pulsate like soft-hackles but are more durable. The dubbing sequence for your fur flies averages 50 seconds, less with practice.

Can any one describe some of what Moscow furs has to offer and what they would best be used for?
