Up to 46 dogs are allowed in the race on one team.
14!!!!
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.

Strongest are usually the dogs CLOSEST to the sled. Then it's second strongest and so on until the leader dog, with the most experience
how many teams usually compete in the iditarod
the fewest number of dogs a team can start with is 12 dogs!!!!!! depends if you are going into comps or just for fun ( the fun way is you could have any amount of dogs just make sure it doesn't put to much strain on them =( ) also depends on the comp some competition can have several less then 12.
Lead dog, swing dogs, team dogs, and wheel dogs.this is from: http://personal.my180.net/thesmiths/iditarod/sledpositions.html
I think the number is typically 16 dogs.Answer:12 to 16 dogs can start the race with at least 6 on the towline when they finish.
Iditarod
Dick Wilmarth won the first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1973 with a team of 12 dogs. It took him 20 days, 49 minutes, and 41 seconds.
The Jr. Iditarod protects racers and dog teams by making it just right for young competetors. They do not make it to difficult for them.
