It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of Robin Burchett’s passing. Robin was admitted to the hospital over Memorial Weekend. She passed away peacefully and without pain on July 9, 2026.

Robin was a huge contributor to the Northern California Irish Wolfhound Club as well as to the Irish Wolfhound community.  Among other positions throughout the years, Robin was the editor of the Bugle and former membership chair.  At the NCIWC Specialty, she ran the heart study for many years.  Robin and her husband Terry, were well known in the lure coursing circles, she was Field Trial Secretary for many years while Terry was the lure operator.

She bred and showed champion Irish Wolfhounds, and competed in obedience, as well as lure coursing.   The club and the wolfhound community will greatly miss her.  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 bight smile and cheerful, warm attitude.

We find comfort imagining her reunited with her husband, Terry, and her beloved hounds.

A memorial service will be held later this summer.
