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.

I believe it is pronounced "du clay"

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.

We had the same question for a long time...we bought a chick from the mystery bantam bin at the feed store that turned out to be a self-blue d'Uccle. Since we didn't know how to pronounce it, we would jokingly call him the "duckle" all the time (we knew that was wrong, but it sounded so funny).

Well, we know how it's pronounced now, but unfortunately the name has stuck and I now have a *dew clay* called duckle!
