AKC says Brittanys require a lot of exercise, preferably with their favorite humans. They are bright and eager at home and tireless afield.
The right run
A Brittany is lean. Economy works for one, but a dog this lively often does better in Business Class, 5x6 ft, where it has room to trot. Two Brittanys from one home share Business for $59 plus $50.
Coat
The coat is dense and flat or wavy, never curly, with light feathering. Shedding is 3 of 5 by AKC. The bath cell depends on how staff read the coat: $40 Short or $45 Medium.
A tireless dog
AKC gives it 5 of 5 on energy. A Brittany at a kennel will use every minute of play. The grass field and the large fenced areas are made for that. Walks are included. Your dog may be quite tired on the drive home.
Heat and hunting season
Dixon runs about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or above (NOAA, Vacaville). An eager dog will keep going in heat, so the staff steer play to cooler hours.
Exercise before and after
A Brittany that has had a hard run in the morning arrives calmer. Walk or play before the drive if you can, then expect a very hungry dog at pick-up.
Doggie doors
Each run has a doggie door, so a busy dog can step outside to watch the field rather than pace. Customers praise the cleanliness and the caring staff.
What a stay costs
A 5-night stay in Economy is 5 x $52 on the 2026 rates. A second dog from the same home is $44, and 14 nights or more is $47 a night; active military families pay that same reduced rate (the rate sheet does not list the two as combining; call 707-678-6600 to confirm).
Costs and records
A week in Economy is 7 x $52 on the 2026 rates, 14 nights or more is $47. Rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella records must be good through the last day, and your dog should be 16 weeks or older before the first day. Canine influenza is recommended but not required.
