Insulation for an Eskimo?

Greetings,

I have a Samoyed. (She's not %100--her mother is, but the father is
unidentified), however she has the typically dense coat of hair for the
breed and seems completely unconcerned with sub 20 temps. Nevertheless, I
built her house with 4" of fiberglass insulation in walls, floor and
ceiling. There is also an offset double entrance covered by a heavy blanket
"door" to block the wind from entering her sleeping area. I live in
northern West Virginia. The winters here rarely reach into the single
digits for any length of time. For summer living, I open rear and side
vents, and her house has a roofed porch under thick shade trees.

People have laughed at me for going a little "overboard" in building this
kind of dwelling for an "Eskimo" dog. I don't think so, besides, I enjoyed
it.

People used to laugh at me for going overboard with my dogs, but
now they welcome their dogs into their homes, too.
