Monday night we are going down to 10 degrees. The dog is an Australian Dingo and has a good amount of guard hair. On cold mornings, say 40ish she may be lying out in the yard rather than occupying her house.
The house, which I designed and built, faces south and is insulated with 3" of house insulation in the walls with a plywood facia...didn't want metal walls facing the interior to assist in her keeping warm. The floor is plywood also and a 2x4 on end height off the ground. The porch is just high enough for her to clear it which I did deliberately to increase the available weather protection.

In the past I have had carpeting on the floor which was torn out and had a heating pad like a person would use on low and that was torn out.
The dog has to stay in the pen.
