[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) [Usually fits a Business Class kennel $59 a night ยท 5 x 6 ft inside](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/business-class-kennel/) - **Weight (AKC):** 45 to 65 lb - **Height (AKC):** 23 to 26 in - **Kennel:** Business Class, 5 x 6 ft - **Per night:** $59 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $45 to $50 Where a Treeing Walker has a short coat, an American English Coonhound has a hard, medium-length one, and it stands 23 to 26 inches and weighs 45 to 65 pounds by the AKC, so one fits a Business Class kennel (5x6 ft, $59 a night on the 2026 rates). On the 2024 bath chart a medium coat is $45 at 26 to 50 pounds and $50 at 51 to 75; please ask to confirm. Both are coonhounds with big voices and big appetites for a trail, so the difference matters in the details: a slightly heavier, rangier dog, and a coat that is a half step longer than the [Treeing Walker](https://happypawskennels.com/breeds/treeing-walker-coonhound/). ## Kennel size Males are 24 to 26 inches and females 23 to 25, at 45 to 65 pounds. The standard describes weight in proportion to height so that the dog appears capable of an all-night hunt, which means long legs and a deep chest. Business Class (about 30 square feet inside plus 60 outside, $59 a night) gives a hound that size room to turn. Two coonhounds from one home can share a First Class run for $72 and $61. ## Hard, protective hair The standard calls the coat hard and protective, of medium length, in red and white ticked, blue and white ticked, tricolor with ticking, red and white, or white and black. 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 which cell your hound falls in. ## Built for the long haul The AKC standard speaks of an effortless trot that gives an impression of great endurance, and it describes the dog as an avid hunter that is sociable with people and dogs. The large fenced play areas and the grass field are where that stamina goes, and walks are included. Nose-led dogs often follow a scent along the fence line, so a calm walk in from the car is part of the check-in. ## Heat and long ears A medium-length coat is mild in summer heat, but a hard-working hound can still overheat. The air-conditioned side of the run is open all summer, and the dog chooses. Long, fine, soft ears stay clean when the bedding stays dry, which is why every run has a Kuranda bed and blankets. ## Records, food and next steps Bring rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella records. Canine influenza is recommended but not required. House food is free; your own is welcome in its original bag, with amounts in cups.
