KD Original Page

It is a personal website dedicated to a single Newfoundland Landseer dog named Kalar Starr E. Nite, known as KD, created by Woodrow Smith. The site introduces the dog, describes her physical characteristics, daily routine, grooming habits, and temperament, and provides historical background on the Landseer coloration of the Newfoundland breed. It also includes pages for a memorial, contact information, breed-related resources, and personal photographs of the dog.

The dog is 119 pounds, has 3 inch long fur, stands 28 inches at the shoulders, and is almost seven years old. She eats 2 cups of kibble in the morning and 2 cups of kibble in the evening, gets occasional meat dog treats and chews, and goes on a 30 minute evening walk. Her fur is combed 15 minutes every morning, and she gets a bath about every two weeks.

The Landseer color/pattern is the only Newfoundland color/pattern that has a name, featuring a white field with a black head, black saddle, black rump, and limited black speckling in the white areas. Sir Edwin Henry Landseer depicted a white & black Newfoundland named Paul Pry in his oil painting in the mid 1800's, which gave the breed its name.

KD is very friendly and loves pets from everyone, likes visiting, and goes regularly with her owner on errands. They often stop for lunch at outdoor seating restaurants so they can visit with friends, and KD is always a big draw when people come from all over California to visit at Pet Expo.

The website includes a memorial web page for KD, contact information, breed-related resources, and personal photographs of the dog. It also features a specific section for a 'Newfie Rug' and mentions that most Newfs have the behavior of laying down on it, which is one of the behaviors that makes them endearing.

Every year in the fall, the seniors (dogs over 7 years old) get together for a party that includes a liver cake for them, lunch for the people, games, and stories of beloved newfies. This event is known as the Seniors Picnic, and there is a group photo from the 2007 Seniors Picnic available.

Every year KD and her owner do breed education at Pet Expo, where it was located at the Orange County Fair Grounds in May 2008. It was 4 blocks from the car to the exhibit area, and it was 98 degrees that day, so KD got to ride into the exhibit reminiscent of a queen in her coach in a public procession.

The website provides informative resources on teeth brushing, nail trimming with a Dremel tool, and Newf bathing suggestions. It also mentions that KD's crate is her special space that gives her a sense of security.

KD is described as being almost seven years old, which places her in the senior category for dogs over 7 years old. This age group gets together annually for special events like the Seniors Picnic.

The website includes two photographs showing all of KD's markings and a photo of KD at 5 years old. It also features a video tag placeholder, though the browser does not support the video tag.

The site provides a link to a memorial web page for KD, which is a specific feature for visitors interested in the dog's history. It also includes pages for breed-related resources to help visitors learn more about the breed.

The website mentions that KD is 11.5 years old in two specific photos taken at Pet Expo. These photos show her as a senior dog participating in breed education events.

The website includes a section on 'Newf bathing suggestions' and mentions that bathing and drying takes about two hours. This is a practical tip for owners of Newfoundland dogs.
