I have always pronounced Bo-Se as Bow-see. My vet calls is bow-see as well. I will probably always call it bow-see.

Actually if you pronounce it Cap-rine, it rhymes wonderfully with devine. I like it!

And spell it "Boar" too. It's pronounced "boo-er" or "boor" after the Afrikaans word for "farmer".

And while we're nitpicking, it's one Oberhasli, two Oberhasli, one hundred and seventy-five Oberhasli.

"One little, two little, three little Oberhasli
Four little, five little, six little Oberhasli
Seven little, eight little, nine little Oberhasli,
Ten little Oberhasli milk-ing!

Jumped in the bucket and the bucket tipped over
Jumped in the bucket and the bucket tipped over
Jumped in the bucket and the bucket tipped over
No milk from those Obies."

Sorry - couldn't help it & it just keeps going around and around in my head and growing! Argh!
