I have a one year old 1/2 lab & 1/2 rott. during the summer months and into the fall I have sleep in a kennel over night. At what temperature should I start bring her in for the night? She is in an open kennel (roofed but field fence sides, mostly designed for summer) she rips up any bed I put in with her. So I'm worried of it getting to cold for her.

We once had a hunting dog mix, so she had no undercoat for insulation. I don't know the specific answer to your question, but I would think it's more a matter of how long they can handle cold temperatures comfortably without having the option of warming up. Our dog didn't mind being out in the frigid weather, but she always had the option of coming inside through a doggie dog, which she frequently used.
Those with short-haired dogs would know better. I figure if you're uncomfortable with having your dog endure certain temps (good for you), then that's the time to bring her inside. If you bring her inside before it gets too cold, it won't hurt a thing, especially since she'll get to be with you

I have to agree, She does have the undercoat and fat layer so I know at the temps she is dealing with are fine but I've set the temp mid 40's that I bring her in. And she does love to be near me. I just don't what her to endure to much cold weather. Even this summer I had to bring her in to get out of the hot weather.
