The Tirkane Prefix was carried on by Knox & Millicent Ingram’s daughter Ann who started to handle dogs in the Children's Classes at an early age. This lead to a passion for dogs which still survives today.

In the I960s Ann was interested in Boston Terriers to have something different from her parents’ breeds, and the age of 14 she made up her first UK Champion Ir. & Eng. Ch. Miss Print of Torlu. She made up another few champions in this breed but the difficulties of breeding them led her back to the Boxers.

1970s saw the crowning of the first UK Ch. Boxer with Ir. & Eng. Ch. Tirkane Avaunt Top winning Boxer Bitch for the year. The late seventies saw the arrival of the Toy Poodles, originally white ones but this progressed to the Apricots and blacks.
