Pronunciations

    • Gold Top Dog

    yep...the only harlequin Beauce on the top 10 i believe, thats Anya Bleu.  She was the only harlequin at Westminister.

    • Gold Top Dog

    Ok, that's COOL! I was kissed by a dog who competes on THAT level?

    That is very cool. She's a really sweet dog. She's doing a good job of making the breed out to be OMGFRIENDLY.

    Chuffy
    Borzoi is Bore-zoy isn't

     

    Borzoi is (IMO) bor-tsoy. The zee in languages such as german and russian is hard aspirant stop, usually pronounced as "ts".

    I learned the last time that Keeshond is Kayz-hundt.

    I've always pronounced Beauceron as bo-ser-own. Accent on the last syllable with the n being more of soft palate sound than an actual english "n" sound.

    The one that always threw me before was Viszla. Veesh-lah.

    I can't pronounce most dog breeds, .. ever. So I was keeping notes when I was watching westminster.. LOL It was so interesting at how far off I was at pronouncing certain breeds. I don't know any other language besides english, so I think that handicaps me a bit.

    I had the samoyed pronounciation down.. but weimerainer.. (i can't spell it even?) and beauceron ... keeshond.. vizsla.. I can't say 'em properly.
