This solved the Newfoundland pronounciation issue for me as well. For years I couldn't get a straight answer from breeders or showers, so I finally asked a friend from Canada how to pronounce that word. He told me the correct pronounciation of Newfoundland is "New-fun-LAND". It's not "New-fin-lind" or "New-FOUND-lin" or "Newfun-lund". Check out this link, pretty informative, super handsome Newf Pics (check out the picture of Jydekompagniet`s Apple-Jack "Jaki" - what an amazing looking Newf!), and it has the pronunciation too:

*sigh* I'm just to lazy to do all that.
So, a Leonberger is a "Leee Oh" to me.
A Newfoundland is a "New-fee"
and a Great Pyreneese is a "Peer"
Sometimes I just wish dog breed names were as easy as to say as the "Pug"!
tee hee.

Check out the way they say Great Pyrenees. To think all of the major dogs shows on TV say it wrong 
Sugar Bear - Great Pyrenees 4.5 yr.
Dixie Darlin - Great Pyrenees 4 yr.
Penny Lane - Great Pyrenees 2.5 yr.
Beauman - Great Pyrenees 14 months
Izzy - Great Pyrenees 14 month
Rosie - Great Pyrenees (at the bridge)

I've never heard it said that way before. I wonder which is correct.

that is what i thought it was....i get that a lot from people wondering how to say Dachshund. some say Dash hound. some say a weird combination of dox hund (which is right) and dash hound (wrong) some just give up and call them weanie dogs, because they dont know how to say it!
