A Strong Team

• The lead dog is crucial so CEO’s (mushers)

take particular care of these (dogs). Important

too is to have powerful wheel dogs to pull the

(sled) projects out from the (snow) misery.

Point dogs (optional) are located behind the

leader dogs, swing dogs between the point and

wheel dogs, and team dogs are all other dogs in

between the wheel and swing dogs and are

selected for their endurance, strength and speed

as part of the team. 9

A Strong Team

• Every role in the pack has to be adjusted

and tuned against each other and to the

requirements of the race. Is it an endurance

multi week race (Iditarod) or is it sprints.

• A very fast lead dog who lacks foresight

and endurance doesn’t fits well with

marathon pack dogs.

• So you have to choose wisely. Don’t let a

Husky run with barking guineapigs.10
