A musher can have a maximum of 15 dogs to start the Iditarod race. He must have a least 5 dogs in the harness at the end to officially finish. Dogs can be dropped for many reason such as injury, illness, and attitude issue.
You can have only one musher and up to 16 dogs also u cna only have one sledge with a musher and 16 dogs because it is quite hard to pull th musher and other people along on the sledge at once i hoped i helped you .
As many as they want. But usually only 8 of them will be working and the rest can do whatever.
For going off the track or losing too many dogs.
no less than 10
