It depends. I, for example, have a one-dog sled team (she's VERY big) but, if you're not racing them, and they are not giants, I suggest two or three.
i think you need 6 dogs to run

The number of sled dogs needed to pull a sled depends on various factors such as the weight of the load, terrain, and weather conditions. Typically, a team of 4 to 12 sled dogs is used for pulling a sled in races or expeditions.
.......YES!...
This can be very mean as you are harming your dog and forcing them to take part in a sport.
to take better care of the dogs and adopt them as house pets after they become too old to work
Dogs are no longer allowed in Antarctica. Your answer depends on heavily laden the sledge may be, and how well it's loaded -- its center of gravity -- the condition of the sledge and so forth, regardless of where you are sledging..
Many reasons one is there ability to stand the cold and weather another is they are very loyal and normally can sense danger so if your crossing a frozen pond they can sometimes tell if its dangerous and they are very easy to take care of they are fast but the mostcommon dog for dog racing is a Husky they have all these abilities plus "dogsledding" duh dog is in the title :) hope i helped
Since just about all are kept as pets, or possibly sled dogs, they don't have to hide. Their human owners take care of them.
The number of dogs needed to pull a lorry would depend on the size and weight of the lorry. Generally, a team of dogs called a dog sled team consisting of 8-12 dogs is used to pull heavy loads, but this may vary depending on the specific circumstances.
yes and no, no because its hard to take care of all the sled dogs. yes because its better for the environment.
Have you ever seen Balto? Dog sled racing started between people delivering stuff, then involved between who could take the package from point A to point B the fastest, just like how FedEx and UPS try to be the fastest, if you have a fast team you can get hired more. To sum it up, it started as a competition between delivering companies, who was the fastest, that's what they sought out.
