Bulldozer and Blossom sleep in their crates at night. They shed so much hair, and I find the hairs make me itchy at night, plus I have chocolate brown sheet, and they get totally covered with dog hair, and cat hair, so I also don't let the cat in my bedroom, as I'm allergic to cats, she sleeps with my son. They have been crate trained since day one, and they do t mind. During the day, the crate doors are open, and they can go in and out when they want, but usually sleep on the couch, or on their dog pillows in the living room.
