I knew someone from school named Beau XD And then My Ex Manager was named Mark Breaux (Bro pronounced). And then there is Boudreaux (Boo Dro)

Gotta love French Names :P
My favorite is Margeaux lol

I HATE when people can't spell their breed name. It's one thing to have never heard it pronounced correctly but PLEASE spell Chihuahua right.

So, enlighten us less informed. Am I at least pronouncing APBT right?

By the way, I got Snoqualmie, Kancamagus, and Okeechobee down. I may not be dog smart, but I got you beat in geography...
Yeah, but can you say "Puyallup"? LOL


There are a lot of words I can't pronounce correctly. Doesn't mean I shouldn't own something because of it.

This happens to me a lot with people that own Cane Corsos, and they pronounce it like its spelled. Drives me nuts!
My sister was talking about them, she said "Kayne" Corso. I said "It's Kah-nuh Corso" and she said "Oh I don't care it's Kayne Corso to me"

Actually I've heard working Dachs breeders pronounce it Dash-hound before. (Dachs in question were bred for blood trailing)

A breeder friend of my breeds Samoyeds. She's always pronounced it;

Sam-oi-yed as opposed to how you usually hear, sam-oid. I don't know which one is right, but I say the prior because she pushes it on me.

Doxie's are probably the ones that bug me the most, why do you think some people call them "doxies"? Wouldn't it be "doshie's" for short if it was dash hound?

If some of you remember a while back I posted my friends Beauceron puppy. Her family is on their second one and they kept pronouncing it "Boo-sir-on" and it was driving me nuts. I'd make a point to say it the proper way and they just looked at me funny. I admit, I've said names wrong in the past but since I've learned the correct pronounciation, I've corrected myself.
I pronounce it boh-sir-on. What is the correct way?

I think it's pronounced "creepy hairless thing" but I could be mistaken.

A relative breeds Dachshunds and pronounces it "Dash-hound" and probably can't spell it just going off of the norm for the person
Isn't Dachshund German? :P

Deutscher Schaferhund
Riesenschnauzer
Bernhardiner
Samoiedskaia Sabaka
Zwergspitz

Default Dog Breed Name Pronunciation
So I went for a walk with a friend (no dog with us) and we came across a guy walking what looked like a malinois I asked if it was and if I could pet her he said no she's a Mal-In-Noise and I could pet her, I was just like yeah it's pronounced Mal-in-wah And you probably shouldn't be owning this dog he responded with the typical "f!#* you" we just walked away. Point of the story is don't you hate when people can even pronounce the name of the breed they own.. Especially if they're going to own a dog like a malinois and not know something so basic as its name pronunciation that kinda scares me. Anyways rant over :-)
