How much weight can a team of sled dogs pull?

Modern-day sled dogs travel at an average of 20 mph over shorter distances, and 10 to 14 mph on longer distances. Even in poor trail conditions, sled dogs can manage 6 to 7 miles per hour. The dogs may travel over 90 miles in a 24 hour period while pulling up to 85 pounds apiece!

How much weight can a dog safely pull?

A dog can comfortably pull three times its weight for an extended period. For the very short distances used in weight-pulling competitions, a dog can pull much, much more than that. A friend of mine has an Alaskan malamute who has pulled over 3500 lbs in competition. This is very impressive, but by no means a record.

How much weight can a sled hold?
