Correct pronunciation of breed names..

Are there any breeds that you ever wonder how to pronounce the name properly or have been saying it wrong ..

I know some of the names are from different countries which does not help me at all..lol ..

Any of the French breeds!

Bassett fauve de Bretagne
Braque d'Auvergne

My ex used to say Weimeraner as 'wime-a-wah-ma', lol! Sounded like he'd got no teeth in when he said it!

Good thread Murf - how do you pronounce Shih Tzu

Strictly speaking the Shar-pei should be pronounced Sar-pay. Apparently the Chinese do not have the phonic 'sh' in their language, only a 's'.

I pronounce the W as a V.

That all gets a bit German ..lol

Well, it is a German breed, lol!

Oh yes, i've got another one...Lagotto (that bit I can pronounce) Romagnolo (thats the bit I dont know!)
