How do you pronounce?

[Picklepaige]

The one that I have been wondering about is papillion.

I've always pronounced it pah-pee-yon. I'm sure that isn't right though.

PicklePaige, that's how I usually pronounce it. It's the french word for Butterfly, Papillion, and I'm french and pronounce it Pa-pee-on

I pronounce Fila as Fee-lah.

LOL hope I am not saying it wrong as that would be rather embarrassing.

How do you pronounce Keeshond? I've always been confused because I've heard it several ways, and of course I forget later.

And Tervuren? As in Belgian Tervuren.

I always wondered if I said Cane Corso right, I was, thank goodness

Oh and i always got Malinois wrong, I didn't take the language into consideration, just pronounced mal-in-noise didn't realize it was mal-in-wa.

I've always said keeshond ans "kayz-hond"

 

[Squishy22]

I always pronounced it as Caynay course-oh. LOL.

I know how to pronounce most breeds recognized by the AKC, because I watch dog shows on TV. I am lost with the other breeds.

Samoyed is one that I used to mispronounce for the longest time.

Yep.

You go to 'Eye-bee-THa' on your holidays. Well you do if you're a drunken bar crawling tweenybopper

So it'd be pronounced...

"E-bee-than"
