Well, right now we crate our 8 month old pup in the bedroom with us. I would loooooooooove to have him sleep with us but I am a "dogs shouldn't be on furniture" type of person. I did that with a previous dog and had troubles with possessiveness (I know, I know! I take full responsibility).
I am curious, though, if anyone has transitioned their dogs to letting them roam at night after always sleeping in a kennel...any kind of bad behaviors? Or do they sleep in the room for the most part during the night? I would think when he's a few months older he could at least have a bed to sleep on in the bedroom with us instead of being in the kennel. Knowing him, he would stay in the room with us and not roam around the house and, say, chew the sofa cushions!
