[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) [Usually fits an Economy Class kennel $52 a night ยท 4 x 4 ft inside](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/economy-class-kennel/) - **Weight (AKC):** 17 to 23 lb - **Height (AKC):** 15 to 17.5 in - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $40 The AKC lists a Bedlington Terrier at 15 to 17.5 inches and 17 to 23 pounds, so one fits an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). The curly coat virtually does not shed, and on the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the medium column at 16 to 25 pounds is $40; please ask to confirm. A Bedlington looks like a lamb and runs like a sighthound, and both halves of that description matter for a stay. The coat is the part owners ask about first. ## A coat that grows but does not shed The AKC describes the crisp, curly coat as a mix of soft and harsh hair that virtually does not shed, grows quickly and needs clipping about every two months. It also calls for brushing or combing once or twice a week. Tell the front desk how recently yours was clipped, because a grown-out coat tangles faster during a week of running. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, a medium coat at 16 to 25 pounds is $40. A bath before pick-up is available for boarders; please ask to confirm today's price. ## A small terrier in an Economy run At 17 to 23 pounds a Bedlington is small enough that Economy (4x4 ft) is all one dog needs. Two Bedlingtons from the same home can share it, with the second dog at $44 a night. The AKC puts the height at 15 to 17.5 inches, tall on the leg for the weight, which is the sighthound build the breed is known for. ## Lamb looks, hunter instincts The AKC says Bedlingtons have a fair amount of energy, love fetch and long walks, and then settle on the couch. It also notes they were bred to chase small animals, so they need a fenced space and a leash on walks. The fenced play areas and the grass field at the kennel suit that, and walks are included in the stay. ## Weather, wool and the run Dixon sees about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more, by the NOAA Vacaville normals. A clipped Bedlington copes better with that than a grown-out one, and the air-conditioned inside half of the run is there whenever your dog wants it. In winter the runs are heated. ## What 5 nights adds up to For 5 nights, one Bedlington Terrier in [Economy](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/economy-class-kennel/) (4x4 ft) is 5 x $52 = $260 on the 2026 rates. A second dog from your home sharing the run is $44 a night, and from 14 nights the rate drops to $47. Military families pay that same reduced rate, about 10 percent off; the sheet does not list the two as combining, so call 707-678-6600 to confirm. The balance is due at pick-up, and check-out is by 11:30 AM.
