hey guys, thanks for the comments
I've been playing with paintFX fur/hair for two days now and its still a bit crazy. I quite like it but it is frustratingly hard to get exactly what you are after.
After numerous practices/attempts/retrys I've finally got a little control and have been able to start a test run on applying some generic paintfx fur (based on the furBunny brush)
Here's a bit around the mouth and starting on the nose.
