I get annoyed by people with cane corso and cannot pronounce "KAH NEY" no, it's not "Cain". Or "Shar-peis" Shar-pei is plural. May be nit-picky but if people don't know their breed inside and out they have no business breeding, imo.

Todd's "breeder" spelled his breed name "Chinese Creasted" on his 'papers'.

I HATE when people can't spell THEIR breed. I know I get Chihuahua wrong sometimes, but they are NOT my breed. Rottweiler. It has TWO "t's" and ONE "l" I see Rotweiler, Rotweiller, Rottieweiler, Rotwyler. I HATE seeing the breed name wrong. I don't care HOW many titles your "Rotweiller" has I will not buy it. Sorry.

Spelling the breed name wrong really annoys me :/ I would never buy off someone that spells it wrong.

I actually just went onto a local trading site and found

German Sheppard's
Meltese, Malteze and Molteze
Shihitzu, Shiatsu and Shihtze

all on the first two pages :/


You can't screw up Pug... Or at least i'd hope not lol.
PAGG!

seriously. there is a backyard breeder near me that spells and says it like that! :/

I spoke too her once and she was confused when i said it right :/

I just learned a few weeks ago how to pronounce Keeshond (KAYZ-hond)...I had absolutely been saying KEE-shond but hey I don't own one much less breed them...lol




What about Corgi breeders who advertise the plural of their breed as Corgis instead of the technically proper Corgwyn? :p

Erm. Oops :eek: I really don't know how to pronounce most dog breeds apparently. Oh well, at least I don't breed them

Okay see... is that the right plural? lol learn something new every day!

I can't pronounce all breeds either (but I don't breed... anything), I have a friend with a mexican hairless or xolo, pronounced SHOW-LO, for short and I can never say the whole name so I call them X dogs or just mexican hairless. lol

Corgwyn is my favorite. I cracked up when Lauren first told me that.
