Completely wrong pronouncation of the breed name.... NOT pronounced "SIRNEECHI". It is pronounced "CHER-neki". If you are doing informational videos about the breed... Please get it right!

[@cindyriceshelton6379]

It is NOT pronounced "SIRNEECHI". It is pronounced "CHER-neki"....

[@amylemmons1003]

This video is annoying. Pronounced cheer’-neck-oh singular and cheer-neck-ee plural. It’s Italian and thus not pronounced with an “s” sound.

Hey Dude, It’s a shame that you’re talking about a dog that you can’t pronounce its name correctly. Obviously you didn’t take 30 seconds to Google the pronunciation. It’s Cheer-necko-dell-etna. Fix your pronunciation please.
