Should my 9-week-old puppy sleep in his crate or in my bed at night?

Question

My 9 week old puppy sleeps about five hours in his crate at night. He will sleep all throughout the day and through the evening. When he falls asleep should we put him in his crate? I just wonder if at night he just wants to sleep next to us like he does all day? Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Male | unneutered | 2 months old

I would crate him at night since you cannot watch him and he is so young. Once you know that you can completely trust him (potty and getting into stuff) then I would say you can let him out of the carte and sleep with you. My concern is more that he can do something that can cause harm to himself. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
