Ward was imported in October 2007 from Blake and Jennifer Freking's, Manitou Crossing Kennels, USA. He is from strong lines of Shjegge Mann/Alaskan's Anadyr. Having run Ward while in the States he showed a great working attitude and an desire to prove himself. He is a stunning, strong, fun loving dog, with loads of character. Wards brothers Roland and Wat ran Iditarod 2008 on Jen's team.

Ward is a brilliant wheel and team dog and is maturing exceptionally well in harness. He has shown some real flare in lead and is very fast. He ran in wheel on Mel's team this season, completing several sprint races including a 2nd place at Culbin. He has a natural ability to prevent tangles and keep the gangline set. He has worked hard to increase his fitness as a sprint dog and runs with determination and focus.

Ward and Elvis are like peas in a pod, both in looks and character and are regularly confused as brothers. They get on really well and their "sibling type" rivallry is a great enhancement to their maturity when running together. Ward is friendly, bouncy and very cheeky. He has a great sense of humor and is excited to play with humans and dogs alike. He enjoys cuddles and has a real soft, gentle side. Ward has good manners and loves to please. His formation and gait are beautiful as is his effortless movement.
