How many dogs do you need for the Iditarod?

Answer 1

A contestant in the Iditarod usually has 12-16 dogs on their sled team at the beginning of the race. If less than 6 dogs are pulling the sled when they cross the finish line, the team will be disqualified.

Answer 2

According to the Iditarod Rules for 2018: "A musher must have at least twelve (12) dogs on the line to start the race. At least five (5) dogs must be on the towline at the finish line."

So a musher must start with at least 12 dogs on the line and must end with at least 5 dogs on the line.
