British Kennel Club Recognition

I also prefer Vlcak. Though what is the correct way to say it? Want to make sure I'm getting it right.

Though as I said in a previous post, I don't think they should be grouped with the herding breeds as they are in other countries.

Here in Bulgaria it is pronounced ''Vulchack'' but the 'u' isn't really pronounced just kinda caught in the back of your throat, if you know what I mean?

I have seen people write that they have heard it pronounced more like ''veal chuck''...

Guess it would be best to find out how it is pronounced in Czech or Slovakian and go with the more authentic sounding name

I would like to know if we are goofing also! I understand the proper sound (which I can barely make - in the back of my throat), but I don't believe many other Americans do. I posted on my site "Veel-chuck".. I would be glad to change this if it is incorrect!

Vlcak comes from Vlk (wolf). I am not very sure how Slovakians are pronouncing it, but I think it sounds like "vlchaack". "veal chuck" or "veel chuck" sounds more like polish name of that breed "wilczak". I will ask Pavel anyway.

But should it be original "ceskoslovensky" or english "czechoslovakian"?

So what is the consensus on how to pronounce Vicak?

yukidomari · 30-09-2011, 19:09

There's a sound clip here on WD, posted when the question was asked before.

In it, (maybe it was a Czech-speaker) it sounded more like vul-chak (vul, rhymes with with the beginning part of 'wolf'.

I wonder which is right? I'll try to dig up the link.

Yes, vlchaak is correct. There is no "i" in the beggining. And there is a long "a" at the end. We write it vlčák.
