Welcome Cynthia & Sophie!
I agree w/others---personal choice! Our two sleep w/us, but will also sleep in their baby bed. When they were small we had them in a pack & play. Lisi was hard to train but Kitzi is very compliant by nature! We lived in Greece & were always afraid the neighbors would call the police as Lisi made such a fuss, but we lived through it. She is now 9 & "settled." She never liked being confined (she was 5 months when we got her) but now she loves her stroller walks. I think, as w/children, we have to take the personality & history of the pup into consideration when making decisions concerning them. Be very careful as your situation may change & pups are not so inclined. That being said, our bed would be very empty w/out Lisi & Kitzi.
