∙ 11y agoThe dogs closest to the sled are called wheel dogs. They must be the strongest dogs on your team. Then all the dogs in the middle are called team dogs. They are usually the fastest dogs. In front is of course your lead dogs. They respond to your commands. Directly behind them are the swing dogs. They help turn the sled.
Here is a layout.

The age of the dogs in a dog sled team can vary, but typically they are between 2 to 8 years old. Dogs younger than 2 may not have fully developed physically and older dogs may not have the stamina needed for sledding.
The dogs had to pull the sled
It is not recommended to sled with dogs on grass as it can put strain on the sled and potentially cause damage. Grass does not provide the same smooth surface or resistance as snow, which can result in a less enjoyable experience for both the dogs and the sled. It is best to sled with dogs on snow or other appropriate surfaces to ensure their safety and the longevity of the sled.
Sled dogs originated in regions with colder climates, such as the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of North America, Asia, and Europe. They were bred by indigenous people such as the Inuit, Chukchi, and Sami for transportation and hunting in snowy, icy terrains.
