[Usually fits a Business Class kennel $59 a night · 5 x 6 ft inside](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/business-class-kennel/)

- **Weight (AKC):** 50 to 70 lb

- **Kennel:** Business Class, 5 x 6 ft

- **Per night:** $59

- **Bath (2024 chart):** $45 to $50

The AKC lists an Airedale Terrier at about 23 inches and 50 to 70 pounds, so one fits a Business Class kennel (5x6 ft, $59 a night on the 2026 rates). On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the medium column is $45 at 26 to 50 pounds and $50 at 51 to 75 pounds; please ask to confirm.

The King of Terriers is the largest of the terrier breeds, and the AKC says he is a do-it-all dog.

## The biggest terrier

At 50 to 70 pounds and about 23 inches, an Airedale fits Business Class, 5x6 ft, $59 a night. It is a good-sized terrier and gets a good-sized run.

## Coat and baths

The AKC calls the coat dense and wiry, tan with black markings, shedding occasionally. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the medium column is $45 at 26 to 50 pounds and $50 at 51 to 75. Please ask to confirm.

## Bold, determined and patient with kids

The AKC calls the Airedale bold, determined and sometimes stubborn, docile and patient with kids, and excellent at sports and family activities. A sporty dog like this enjoys the grass field and the walks.

## Heat, cold and the run

A wiry coat is not heavy, but an active terrier overheats like any dog. Mornings and evenings suit outdoor play, with the air-conditioned inside run for the middle of the day.

## A terrier with room to run

The Airedale is the largest of the terriers, and the AKC says he excels at all kinds of sports and family activities. Business Class gives a 5x6 ft run, with about 30 square feet inside and 60 outside. The large fenced play areas and grass field are there for a terrier's energy.

## Two Airedales or one with a friend

Two Airedales from one home can share Business Class at $59 and $50. The AKC says Airedales are docile and patient with kids and will not back down when protecting hearth and home, so share any handling notes on the boarding agreement.

## Rates and food

A 10 night Business Class stay is 10 x $59 = $590 on the 2026 rates, and from 14 nights the rate is $53. House food is free, and so are medications; your own food is welcome in its original bag.

## A week for one Airedale Terrier

Figures are from the 2026 rates. You pay the balance at pick-up. The reduced rate starts at 14 nights; active military families pay that same reduced rate, about 10 percent off (the rate sheet does not list the two as combining; call 707-678-6600 to confirm).
