Why was it not good to have fourteen dogs pulling a sled?
*You'll bog down the sled with tons of dog food trying to feed them all, which not only means that the sled will go slower, but if a dog is injured on the trail, you may not be able to put them into the sled and get them to the next checkpoint/town. *It gives more chances for one dog to botch the whole sled up by going the wrong direction or even flat out stopping during a run. *Being a lead dog is stressful, and the more dogs on the team, the more stressful it tends to be. *If ice cracks under the sled, or the sled tips over the edge of a drop-off, that's more dogs that'll get in the way, and more dogs that'll be injured, meaning you might not have enough supplies to treat them all. *If the dogs run away, that's more dogs you'll have to account for *Not every town/checkpoint will be able to house all the dogs. If you are carrying a lot o weight for a short distance, then 14 dogs is just fine, but in a long race it's just a bunch of unnecessary luggage trying to keep up with all of them.
