He was famous online before he ever set foot in the show ring as the St. Patrick's Day boy, from these 3 amazing photos, also taken by Norm, just before St.Patrick's Day 2010. Lois found a cake recipe that called for Guinness, Kip found the discarded can and decided THIS smelled interesting! . Norm grabbed his camera and the hilarious results are below. Still today they amaze and amuse Irish Wolfhound fanciers worldwide, and serve as a fitting introduction to the remarkable personality and outgoing temperament of this gentle, and fun loving hound. Kip never need any training for the show ring. From his first time out he seemed to know just what was expected of him, and showed like a pro. He is the easiest dog to handle I have ever had the pleasure of showing. The following are photos some of his show ring successes.
