Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. 8 degrees is OK as long as Tobi has a comfortable bed with blankets. Dogs are comfortable at a similar temperature range as we are, maybe a bit cooler. Puppies have to be warmer than adult dogs. Make sure he has a warm bed and little house to climb into. If you keep him inside with where you are, then he should be warm enough. Best of luck with Tobi!
