How many dogs does it take for a sled dog team if you are not racing them?

There is no right or wrong answer to that question. The number of dogs you need for a sled team will depend on a number of factors, such as the weight of your sled and load, the terrain you'll be traveling on, and the weather conditions. In general, you'll need at least four dogs for a sled team, but you may need more if the conditions are particularly challenging.
