From Cool Antarctica:
"The last dogs were taken from Antarctica on Feb 22nd 1994, a consequence of an environmental clause in the Antarctic Treaty that required non-native species to be removed. In the case of dogs, specifically because distemper (a disease of dogs) could potentially spread from the dogs to the native seals of Antarctica."
Sled dogs were removed from Antarctica because they are disturbing Antarctica's wildlife.

There are no foxes native to Antarctica. The Arctic fox is a land animal of the Arctic. The only mammals in Antarctica are humans, marine mammals (seals, sea lions), and, until 1994, sled dogs.
Ernest Shackleton took dogs but not horses on his expeditions to Antarctica. He used sled dogs to help transport supplies and equipment across the icy terrain.
Sled dogs must be able to stand cold weather and be bred to want to run. There are several kinds of sled dogs: Malamutes are primarily freight dogs and are also used for recreational mushing, but they do not race. Alaskan huskies are a mixed breed that is bred for racing. Siberian huskies, a recognized breed, are also used for racing.
