Just as an aside because this is one of the rare times it's relevant, a Norwegian campaign seems like the sort of place where someone might try dogsleds for transporting supplies. Historically, a pair of large sled dogs could pull a sled with 200-250 pounds plus provisions for the dogs and musher at about 4 miles per hour. The Sirius Patrol in Greenland currently uses around 11-15 dogs per sled, which are smaller than the 19th-century dogs (Greenland dogs are 30-32 kg while malamutes are 36-54 kg), and they haul 350-500 kilograms at a time. Greenland has close to 15,000 dogs, half of which are actively used for pulling sleds.
