  • Dr. Mike Guilliard: A Surgical Solution for Greyhound Corns

    Dr. Mike Guilliard: A Surgical Solution for Greyhound Corns
    2026/01/24
    Episode 52: Recorded December 28, 2025

    “We take these dogs out of pain. They’re miserable. We get them back to normal happy dogs.”

    Dr. Mike Guilliard on the impact of Greyhound corn surgery

    Show Notes

    If your Greyhound has every suddenly and mysteriously gone lame — unable to walk or lifting a paw — there’s a good chance it’s due to a corn in their one of their pads. These keratinous growths are often misdiagnosed, leaving a Greyhound or other sighthound breed in pain and discomfort when walking on a firm surface.

    Enter English veterinary surgeon and Greyhound corn specialist, Dr. Mike Guilliard. Since earning his veterinary degree from the University of Cambridge Veterinary School in 1972, Dr. Guilliard has spent over 50 years in surgical practice and consultation. Early in his career, his senior partner owned a Greyhound, and Dr. Guilliard found himself studying the anatomy and orthopedics of the Greyhound. He has authored research papers and developed orthopedic treatments for many athletic dog ailments, but none may be more beneficial to Greyhounds and sighthounds than his surgical techniques for treating corns.

    In this episode, host John Parker sits down with Dr. Guilliard to discuss the tendonectomy or tenotomy and its impact on Greyhound and sighthound health and happiness over the years. Dr. Guilliard shares his 2025 Greyhounds in Gettysburg presentation on the topic, offering viewers and listeners a deep dive into the development of a welcome solution for lameness and discomfort for so many breeds.

  • Harry Jennings: Becoming a Greyhound Man

    Harry Jennings: Becoming a Greyhound Man
    2025/09/02
    Episode 51: Recorded July 13, 2025 "One of the things that really struck me...the car park was the most egalitarian place in all of England..." Harry Jennings on the "great leveler" of the Waterloo Cup Show Notes Many first-time Greyhound adopters will tell you that they didn’t grow up with Greyhounds as kids. Their interest in the breed started with a meet-and-greet at a local rehoming event, or they had a friend or relative that had adopted a Greyhound. Harry Jennings didn’t grow up with Greyhounds either, but he did become interested in them in quite a peculiar way. He discovered the breed in graduate school while thumbing through medieval French literature manuscripts about coursing. Harry’s first Greyhound — Charlie — actually belonged to his housemate, Lauren, but it was his gateway Greyhound into the vast and varied world of the breed. Charlie had an Australian pedigree, having raced in Florida and been adopted out of the Philadelphia area. Harry and Charlie took to the road to try out lure coursing in 1992. By 1993, Charlie was the number one Greyhound in ASFA lure coursing. The making of the Jennings Greyhound man continued with ownership of American racing Greyhounds and a visit to the Waterloo Cup in England in 1999. There, he crossed paths with this show’s host, John Parker, and together they experienced the premier coursing event in the world at the time. There on the field, the two “Yanks” and a few other American friends found themselves before the microphone of English television presenter Clarissa Dickson Wright as part of her Clarissa and the Countryman series. In this episode, host John Parker explores this unconventional making of a Greyhound man -- Harry Jennings -- one who immersed himself in all things Greyhound-related over three decades. Harry shares his thoughts on training and conditioning for lure coursing; navigating the ins and outs of Greyhound racing organizations in the United States and England; and remotely participating in the sport of Greyhound racing through the syndicate model.

  • The Virtual Coursing Museum with David Midwood and Charlie Blanning

    The Virtual Coursing Museum with David Midwood and Charlie Blanning
    2025/06/24
    Episode 50: Recorded May 24, 2025 "[The Virtual Coursing Museum] dovetails so nicely with some of the goals of our podcast..." John Parker, on the announcement of the Virtual Coursing Museum by the National Coursing Club in Great Britain Show Notes For the 50th episode of the Greyhound Nation podcast, we have the unique privilege of announcing the opening of the Virtual Coursing Museum by the National Coursing Club on June 24, 2025. The website is open to anyone interested in learning more about the sport of coursing and the Greyhound breed. It features video interviews, historic photographs, artwork, and more. It captures the rich history and heritage of coursing and the Greyhound in Great Britain. The museum is the brainchild of former Waterloo Cup chairman, David Midwood and historian and author, Charlie Blanning. In fact, the museum can be considered an extension of Charlie's The Greyhound and the Hare, published in 2018. Additionally, both David and Charlie felt an urgency to document and preserve the history of the sport, including photographs of trophies and memorabilia, anecdotes and interviews from its most famous characters, and a catalog of coursing- and Greyhound-related artwork. In this episode, host John Parker sits down with David and Charlie to talk about an idea that became reality -- the Virtual Coursing Museum. John explores the process by which the museum came to be, including all the work involved in cataloging its contents. David and Charlie also reminisce about some of the people most associated with the sport of coursing and Greyhounds in Great Britain, such as Sir Mark Prescott and the late Peter Sant.
