Is my 6-month puppy's outdoor dog house warm enough at 6°C?

Question

I have a 6 months old german shepherd puppy. Weather here at night goes down to 6 degrees Celsius... She sleeps outdoors in her spacious and thick wooden house with a blanket inside.. The house has one small window.. We keep the door semi open at night... Is that enough for her 6 months age? Or should i completely close the door? Knowing that she seems comfortable, but sneezes every couple of days, yet, her doctor says it is a normal cold. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female

As long as the doghouse is heavily insulated and she has thick bedding inside, and the door isn't open to where the wind blows in, it should be fine. A good option may be to drape a heavy blanket over the door at night to stop any drafts and improve the insulation. Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
