Such a sad face....2pics

I know that the first dog(s) are lead dogs, then second row is swing, and last row is wheel. What are the dogs in between swing and wheel called?

Leaving for work in the dark and getting home in the dark is just no fun.

They are called team dogs. There can be any number of pairs of team dogs. Swing is actually a Northern term. For some reason, mushers in the Lower 48 call that pair "point dogs".

I'll still be leaving for and getting home from work in the dark for awhile. I work 8am to 6pm. Sunrise is about 9:45 and sunset is about 4:45 right now. We gain about five minutes of light a day.
