I just got my Chloe on Friday and I highly recommend the crate. Her breeder also did not believe in the crate,but after reading alot of articles on the internet and knowing I did NOT want share my bed, I chose to crate train her. It has been not even four days and she is use to going in it. Yes she whines when we first put her in it,but she has gotten use to the fact and now only whines for like 20 secs and then becomes quit. She also wakes me up at night when she has to go potty. I put a toy in there in with her also. I think it is best to get your puppy use to the crate ASAP..if not, when you do go to work it will make him very stressed and you will make him "hate" the crate.
