[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):** 24 to 110 lb - **Height (AKC):** 25.5 to 27.5 in - **Kennel:** Business Class, 5 x 6 ft - **Per night:** $59 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $50 to $75 A Beauceron is a large dog, 25.5 to 27.5 inches for males and 24 to 26.5 for females and 70 to 110 pounds by the AKC, with a short double coat, so one fits a Business Class kennel (5x6 ft, $59 a night on the 2026 rates). On the 2024 bath chart the 76 to 100 pound row is $50 in the Short column or $75 in Double Coated. AKC pictures a Border Collie's brain in a 100-pound body: smart, spirited, a versatile herder and protector. A Beauceron wants a job, even a short stay. ## Business Class, sometimes more Business Class gives about 30 square feet inside plus 60 outside. A heavy male at 100 pounds or more may prefer [First Class](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/first-class-kennel/) at $72. ## Short but double The coat is short and double, which is why the cell is a question. A 76 to 100 pound dog is $50 in Short and $75 in Double Coated, and a lighter dog in the 51 to 75 row is $45 or $65. Please ask which cell applies. AKC rates shedding at 4 of 5. ## Herding energy Energy is 5 of 5. The large fenced play areas and the grass field give a herder room, and walks are included. A tired Beauceron makes the most settled guest. ## Watchful Beaucerons are loyal and protective. Dogs see neighbors through the fence but have their own space. Staff walk your dog in from the car at check-in, so tell us how your dog meets strangers. ## Heat NOAA records about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more at Vacaville. A double coat holds heat, so the air-conditioned inside half of the run is the better place at midday. ## Planning the trip Drop-off and pick-up are every day, 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM, closed 11:30 to 2:00. Holiday weeks need a deposit: stays beginning 7 days before through 7 days after a major holiday require a 50 percent non-refundable deposit 30 days before drop-off, so please call to confirm. A tour any day at 9 to 11 AM or 2 to 4 PM lets you see how the runs and doggie doors work for a large dog. ## Cost and records A week in Business Class is 7 x $59 on the 2026 rates, and 14 nights or more is $53 a night. Rabies, distemper/parvo, Bordetella and canine influenza records must be good through the last day.
