Looks like a good idea as long as it doesn't get wet in there. Doesn't look like enough of a lip to keep the rain out of the box.

That's a little different twist on a dirt nap.

Hole is to big, to close to the ground. Good idea poor design.

you get 6 to 8 inches of snow and dog would have to dig out.

Frost line here is 3 - 4 foot deep.... don't think I'd want my dog surrounded by ice.

interesting... would think it wouldn't be good in rain if the wind is the wrong direction it would blow right in

This is how I build mine , use 3/4 in treated plywood, I keep mine a little higher off ground also the entrance to the larger compartment I keep 7 inches from base to entrance hole to keep lots of straw in. I also put a removable second roof inside over the larger nesting side by screwing 2X2's around the top an inch down and cut a plywood section to fit. I also use 2X4's all the way around the big roof section to keep drafts out and weighted down
