You should never let a dog sleep on your bed as it undermines your alpha dog status. The alpha pair sleep together whilst the lower dogs sleep seperate.

Apart from that i dont think its very hygeneic, they do use their tongue as toilet paper after all.

Rio sleeps on the bed and Wilo tries to but gets thrown on the floor. Once Wilo starts to behave i'll throw them both out of the bedroom but as she's still being a pain i want to have her where i can see / hear her.

Mmm 13 dogs, the 2 youngest GSD sleep in the kitchen with the newest puppy and 11 cats, 10 dogs come to bed and IN bed we have 1 yorkie x, 2 cavaliers(snore very loudly), 1 large lurcher, 1 fat staffie x, 1 Sprollie and ON the bed we have 1 Min Poodle, 1 Beardie X, 1 Lilac Oriental Cat and 1 Mainecoon cat, ON the bedroom floor we have 1 old GSD, 1 Old Mongrel
Please not that in our Kingsize bed I sleep on the left with my 2 cats, the dogs sleep in between us and on my OH side as I quote him"they get cold and I feel sorry for them" Most of these dogs are large (every year at least we replace our mattress.) but at least its warm in winter. Im surprised he doesnt take the reps to bed to
lol

RIP Asbo we only had you a short time but loved you so much. Sleep peacefully little boy you have left a huge hole in our hearts

my puppy has slept in his crate in the living room since day one. Dont hear a peep from him all night. I put him on my bed once while i was tidying and within about 0.3 seconds he had peed on it so he is never going on again!

I love snuggling with both mine at the same time, especially on a cold night nd i often end up in bed about 3-4 hours before my partner coz he doesnt drag his sorry ass to bed until about 2am. The bitch usually sleeps in her crate but will often start with in bed with me until my partner takes he downstairs.
The big boy is the same but he moves to the floor when my partner gets in.

I have to say i dont agree with that............my dogs are huskies (other than my springer but she thinks she a huskie) huskies sleep together as a pack its not made any problems for me regaurding higher ranking in the alpha side of things at all they know i am alpha and pack leader and they respect that

plus hygiene whats that got to do with anything?? if you keep your sheets clean and wash them often no problem is there ?

Not everyone thinks having a dog on the bed is ideal but there are also those of us who dont mind it and im one of those that wouldnt have my dogs sleep anywhere else other than my bed and the single bed next to mine

If it wasnt for our dogs being upstairs we would all be dead. Last year the house next door got set on fire and slowly burnt away. The smoke filled our bedroom and its only the dogs pawing and whining that made us wake up enough to get out and ring 999 We couldnt breath it was awful. Long live dogs upstairs.
It has never affected our status and the dogs and OH all know who is boss........ME

my choc lab sleeps in my room. He does have his own bed in there but tends to sleep at the end of mine. You'd think when I tell him to lie down he'd go on his bed. But no! He jumps on my bed, lies down and goes to sleep!

i used to leave the bedroom door open and went to a friends after work knowing my lodger would be back soon. Late in the evening i remembered he was working late, shot home and was pleased to find Rio hadn't pee'd anywhere............. till i went to bed! £200 for a new mattress.

im not saying if you let your dog sleep next to you you wont be seen as the alpha its just a minus point on the tally.

As for hygene again, not gonna mean you will get dieseased or anything but come on its not way the cleanest thing in the world
