As sled Dogs are generally kept in large numbers, most owners will keep the Dogs chained to kennels outside. This may sound cruel, but the Dogs are usually well fed, live near their own kind and are regularly taken out racing or pulling sleds. This is the case with most professional sled Dog owners as they could not possibly keep all of their Dogs in a house with them. The majority of working sled Dogs are kept to work, not as pets.
