#obviously with smaller teams dogs often fill a dual role more

[darkwood-sleddog]

are all dogs inbetween the lead and wheel dogs called 'swing dogs'? if there were 10 dogs in a team (5 pairs), would there then be 6 swing dogs?

Nope swing is just the dogs right behind lead.

Lead dogs: up front

Swing dogs: right behind lead

Wheel dogs: right in front of the sled

Team dogs: everybody else
