Guest DBT Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) West Highland White Terrier & Cavalier King Charles Spaniel...... OMG the variations i have heard! Mareema Pomaranium Peckenese Keyshound Cane Terrier Samoya my second dog was a Bouvier des Flandres. I told most people who asked that he was a Dutch Cattle Dog...much easier!

Guest english.ivy Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) Try owning a malinois. Um...speaking of which, how do you pronounce it? LOL. Mal-in-wah. Try Groenendael I found the Groen the hardest to learn to pronounce out of the four. But I rarely call her a Groenendael, she's called a Belgian Shepherd when people ask as no one knows about them in Perth. eta - to make sense Edited February 27, 2011 by english.ivy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozzie Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 My pet hate BELGIUM Shepherds. Groenendahl and Tervueren are easy. It's the Mals and Laks that have people going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diva Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 My pet hate BELGIUM Shepherds.Groenendahl and Tervueren are easy. It's the Mals and Laks that have people going. Oh yes, that used to bug me too when I had them. It's not Germany Shepherds or Australia Terriers, why on earth do people think it's Belgium Shepherds.

spoilt lab lives here Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Papillion is a popular BYB spelling.And some people do pronounce it with the 'L' sound rather than the proper 'pap-ee-yon'. I worked with a guy at the boarding kennels who said -Pap-illi-yon- He pronounced the L's and the I's in it. When I heard him say I had to ask him to repeat it 3 times before I could work out what he was trying to say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dxenion Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Met a lady who wanted to email me for more information about our White Swiss Shepherd Dog puppy as she'd never heard of them before. On a scrap of paper she wrote down the breed (as a reminder for herself) and then handed the paper to me so I could write my email address. Had to look twice at what she wrote: Right Swizz Shephead Maybe I need to enunciate better.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I just saw someone has posted a pic of their new puppy on another forum, it's a tiny Chihuahua DATSUNcross. And it was sitting in a coffee cup. I suppose that makes it a coffee cup chihuahua datsun cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casowner Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Having a Central Asian Ovcharka or Central Asian Shepherd Dog proved entertaining, even after 3 years my OH always asked what he was. In the end when people asked him what breed Jake was he just said "he looks after animals and they come from overseas in the mountains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paptacular! Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Pretty much I suppose. Most showies/breeders say 'yon' rather than 'ahn' as the last syllable. Phalene is another story... I've heard so many pronunciations for that, I'm not quite sure which is right!! But I do say it as 'fay-leen'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
