Answer 1

When running in the Iditarod race, there are a maximum of 16 dogs allowed on a team. When the racer crosses over the finish line, there must be at least a minimum of 6 dogs pulling the sled to win. They may begin with as few as 12 dogs.

The fewest number of dogs that a team of dogs can run with is two dogs. A team of two dogs should not pull more than one person at any given time. Teams of four or more dogs are ideal.
