How do you say "d Uccle"?

[fleenorfarmmom]

We have a couple Mille Fleurs and have seen
"d Uccle" in print but haven't heard it pronounced. A little help from you experts, please.

As in, "My Doo-clays are full of poo-pay?

I read this, and every time I read a post saying it was 'Doo-klah' I kept thinking the word should be followed by 'Fran & Ollie'.

That's how I say it, but I'm going off of several years of studying French, not any knowledge of the breed itself (I have none.

I have always heard it pronounced (and pronounced it myself) as doo-kle. Doo as in "moo".

After reading all the responses, I still don't know how to pronounce it

Doo-Klay

Doo-Kluh

Dookle???

The breed is from Belgium, so there looks to be both a Dutch pronunciation & a French, as both language are spoke there officially.

Go to this site, and scroll down, and you can hear both the French and Dutch pronunciations.

So since both are official languages of Belgium, it stands to reason that both CORRECT pronunciations (not Americanized versions) would be correct.
