A lot of old timers in the AKCA have been mispronouncing it for years and it keeps spreading.
Russ, I disagree with you on this one, but hey what do I know, I am sure you are more versed on the Japanese language then I am.
I seriously doubt that all of those AKCA judges could have been so stupid to pronouce it incorrectly all these years.
