[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) - **Weight (breed standard):** 25 to 38 lb - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $55 A Cardigan Welsh Corgi weighs 25 to 38 pounds, so one dog fits an Economy kennel at $52 a night on the 2026 rates. A 26 to 50 pound double-coated dog is $55 on the 2024 bath chart. The AKC calls the Cardigan a masterpiece of the breeder's art, with every aspect of its makeup suited to moving cattle, and says it is so congenial and sweet-faced that it would be a cherished companion even if it never did a day's work. ## Size and kennel The AKC lists the Cardigan at 10.5 to 12.5 inches, with males at 30 to 38 pounds and females at 25 to 34 pounds. That is a long, low, sturdy dog. One Cardigan fits an Economy kennel: about 16 square feet inside and 48 outside, $52 a night. A bonded pair shares for $52 plus $44. ## Medium double coat The Cardigan has a weather-resistant double coat of medium length with a long, fox-like tail. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, a 26 to 50 pound dog is $45 in the medium column and $55 in the double-coated column, and a 16 to 25 pound smaller female is $40 or $45. Please ask to confirm. Shedding is steady, with a heavier season now and then. ## A herder at heart Cardigans were bred to drive cattle and are quick, alert and a little stubborn. They like to circle and nudge. Walks are included, and a lead walk through the grass field is a good fit. Corgis are also fond of food and gain weight easily, so write down the amount in cups if you bring your own, and skip extra treats unless you ask for one. A Happy Lick Mat at $4.99 is a slow, easy treat. ## Backs, heat and a long coat The Cardigan's long back is a reason to limit jumping . nearby Vacaville, the closest weather station, averages about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or higher, and a double-coated corgi does best indoors in the air-conditioned run during the afternoon. The dog chooses inside or out through the doggie door. ## First-stay checklist for a Cardigan Welsh Corgi Upload the vaccine records to your account and check that they are current through the last day of the stay. Write the food amount in cups if you bring your own, and list any medications, which are given at no extra charge. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Cardigan Welsh Corgi breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/cardigan-welsh-corgi/) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) - [Happy Paws Kennels bathing rates effective January 1, 2024](https://happypawskennels.com/rates/) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/normals-monthly/1991-2020/access/) ### 2026 nightly rates - First Class kennel $72 - Business Class kennel $59 - Economy Class kennel $52 - Cat condo $35 All-inclusive: food, medications and walks. 2026 rates, effective for reservations made on or after Jan 1, 2026.
