Contestant's Case to Win

The idea for Furry Twang was born on a crisp autumn day while walking one of those furry four legged creatures we all know and love. With a Starbucks frappuccino in hand and a beautiful day ahead of me, I caught myself saying, “I feel just peachy today”.
As crazy as it sounds, I couldn’t help but think the furry little guy must have felt the exact same way. But bless his heart; he didn’t have a way to express those feelings other than the rapid wagging of his tail?
Several days of brainstorming, lots of number crunching, and a handful of frappuccino’s later, the idea came ALIVE! Furry Twang became the name and southern phrases became our game!

In our short 8 months, Furry Twang has quickly grown to include not only dog t-shirts, but also Dog collars, dog bandanas, dog park totes, and dog tanks. Customers have a choice between over 70 southern phrases, 8 doodles, and 10 color combos. Each item is hand printed and sewn in beautiful Charleston, SC, tied with a bow, and shipped in a snap all over the US.

Our mission is to dress your furry friends in only the best southern dog wear and to hopefully make a few folks smile along the way.
