One of my dogs slept perfectly well in a crate at night by our bed for years. Then, she suddenly started to pant ALL night long and it drove me so batty that I succumbed and started letting her sleep in bed with us. Then the second dog joined us. We upgraded to 3 dogs last November and ended...

I recently adopted an english pointer (Bella) 1.5 years old, from my buddy. They have her crate trained...sort of. Just curious, would it be a big deal if I let her not sleep in the crate, and find a comfy spot on the floor? Or should I just continue with what she is used too. ( and not too...
