How do you prounouce these breed names?

Just a quicky
I never have been quite sure on how to pronounce these dog breed names:This is going to be quite hard, becuase I am going to try and write how I pronouce them, then you can tell me where I am going wrong:

Utanogan - is it Uta-Nogan (with a short space in between) or is it U Tonagan - with the little gap after the U sound?

Weinmaraner - is it Wein Maraner or Wein Ma Raner?

am I making any sense at all ??????

Bichon Frise - I pronouce Bichon Freese ?

I am sure theres some more I struggle with but cannot remember them at the moment!!!!

I've always heard it pronounced wi-mer-ri-ner (trying to spell it phonetically) on the one. Don't really know for the other two. Of course could still be wrong on the first one anyway.

I would sa U tonagon

Wei ma ra ner (well in danish anyway)

Bichon Frise is Bichon Fri-sé or if its french as I suspect, it would be pronounced Fris (not freeze) but a short i.. like in bisquit

Well that's my guesses anyway
