Below is an excerpt from my "Last Frontier" adventure. Hope it helps!

The basic dog sled costs $50 and holds two passengers and about 200
pounds of supplies. Strong, husky dogs cost $10 each. Since teams number
to about ten, a cowpoke will have to plunk down $150 for a sled and dog
team!
A fully-loaded dog sled with team has a Pace of 15.
A Fair (5) Teamster or drivin’: dogsled roll is needed to control the
dogsled in normal conditions, and a Hard (9) roll in blizzard conditions
or on ice.



WATCH OUT WHERE THE HUSKIES GO…
Huskie dogs and other wolf-half breeds are native to the northwest area
and tolerate the harsh temperature extremes better than dogs bred in the
lower states. It is for this reason huskies make the best sled dogs.
Each dog must be fed a hearty meal a day and given an hour’s rest. If
the dogs aren’t properly cared for, they lose 1d6 Wind an hour after 24
hours. When the dogs’ Wind reaches zero, the animals fall unconscious
and must rest to replenish their Wind.
Needless to say, many foolhardy explorers pushed their dogs to the
maximum, only to have the animals die of starvation and exposure.
