Enan is going to be cramped. I am almost 20cm shorter than OP and cannot sit straight in Enan. Lengthwise it's not a problem but Enan is not a very livable tent for other than sleeping or otherwise lying down.

Budget not an issue as per your post, then Hilleberg are outstanding, and their customer service/aftercare is second to none. How big is your dog is the key question and how big are you? Also is weight an issue? as in what are you looking to carry depends on fitness, then equally ground etc. Do you plan to be in mountains and super exposed/remote? Ok so planning that you want something to take the worst conditions and your dog is small and your not massive either then hard to beat the Soulo ( but its a one man tent so as i said wont take a large dog on the inside of the inner, well not without being very cramped - get the groundsheet on any of these makes a big difference in condensation also not jsut for keeping tent protected). Same parameters but keeping a bit lower and want something super lightweight but really high strenght to weight ratio then the Enan is really good, can use a 10mm Nammatj pole on it also and well id challenenge anyone to find a better setup for the weight to strenght and features, also great in summer. Its touted as 3 season's but it far exceeds its performance design envelope ive had it in some hellish conditions (granted i alwasy separte the side guys to 4 on all the hilleberg range). For vs conditions hard to overlook the Nammatj at circa 2.5kg. This is what i have used alot with both a Belgian Malinois and also a Dutch Shepard to give you an idea of size wise (its a 2 man tent). You will get a lot people saying lanshans and everything else, and there is alot of "haters" lol for Hilleberg, but there is a reason why we use them on expeditions. They deliver in spades and having used all different brands over the years, and had failures, they are pretty much the only brand that not had an issue with, except Carinthia bivy tents etc but they are not suitable for your dog. But yea Hilleberg are my go too, the Kerlon material is exceptional.

In terms of the full package, i'd say of any manufactuer for UK use. Its still whilst got alot bigger in the last 5 years or so, still a family run business and still cater for bespoke users also. There are some other's i would consider for super high altitude/lattitude, buit not for UK use. Exceptional aftercare should you have a problem (not likely) and the quality of the finish is hard to beat, along with the design, materials. There are other's that i have used like Slingfin (won't be that well known in the UK but excellent, and also Mountain Hardware (many a night in Trango). As i said you get alot of hilleberg "haters" and people that buy them just because they unfortunately seem to be getting a status symbol being expensive lol (i'd equate it to an overweight cyclist having a 10k TT bike lol), for just going on a campsite, but when you need a tent actually for what they are designed it's hard to find a better brand for UK winter conditions.

I'm quite stoked about the room and weather stability of the Enan without inner and a homemade silnylon footprint, plus 10mm pole upgrade. About 1000g total with stakes. The stock footprint would add 150g The way this tent is designed it's easy to set up with the outer almost flush to the ground for warmth and draft control; and there are covers for the small end vents - although those are not the best. But I never had mist blowing thru the tent But, yeah, it takes 8 stakes to secure well in a storm

I've used both. I find Hilleberg 1-person tents to be pretty nice size-wise, but there's no denying a 2-person tent feels luxurious. Right now my only tent is a 1-person tent.
