The 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.
