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.

same.. working group all the way for me

ceskoslovensky vlcak is what i would like.

i thought it was said veelchuck but i was speaking to someone the other day and they said it was pronounced more like.. 'vilk'

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?

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.
