How Is the Dog Breed Weimaraner Pronounced? Is the W Pronounced Like a V?

Sorry for the silly question, but I am just wondering the proper pronunciation of Weimaraner!
Thanks everyone for clearing that up!

In Germany it would be pronounced, vy-mah-rah-ner. But in the US and practically every where else it is pronounced Why-mah-rah-ner.

It is not a silly question, lots of people don’t even know who to pronounce it, nor spell it.

    Technically, yes it is a "V" sound because it is German – But most in the USA pronounce it with the "W" sound.

    Well in Germany the "W" is pronounced like a "V".

    Its up to you how you want to say it.

    If you are American just pronounce the W as we would in english.
    That is how I hear breeeders/handlers referring to them.
