We Honor Our Past Friends and Hounds

Robin Burchett

Our club lost part of our history with the passing of Robin Burchett on July 9, 2026.

 Robin was a significant contributor to the Northern California Irish Wolfhound Club and the greater Irish Wolfhound community. She was the editor of The Bugle, a former Membership Chair and ran the IWF Heart Health Screening Clinic at our Specialty for many years.  Robin and her husband Terry were well known in the lure coursing circles; she was Field Trial Secretary while Terry was the lure operator.

 She bred and showed champion Irish Wolfhounds under their kennel name Tory Irish Wolfhounds. In addition to her dedication, she was a kind and loving person who was always willing to help and mentor new people.  She will be remembered for her bright smile and cheerful, warm attitude.  

Our club and the Irish Wolfhound community will greatly miss her. We find comfort imagining her reunited with her husband, Terry, and her beloved hounds.
