In Dutch:

cat - miauw (miouw English phonetic)

cow - boe (boo English phonetic)

dog - waf waf

donkey - ie a (i a in Turkish phonetic)

duck - kwak kwak

horse - ieieieie (iii Turkish phonetic)

pig - knor knor

sheep - beh

mouse - piep (pip Turkish phonetic)

 

But what I always find the most interesting...what does the rooster do?

In Dutch its kulelekuuuu (kükeleküüü turkish phonetic)
