[Usually fits an Economy Class kennel $52 a night · 4 x 4 ft inside](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/economy-class-kennel/)

- **Weight (AKC):** 19 to 28 lb

- **Height (AKC):** 17 to 20 in

- **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft

- **Per night:** $52

- **Bath (2024 chart):** $35 to $40

A Cirneco dell'Etna is a lean medium dog, 17 to 20 inches and 19 to 28 pounds by the AKC, with a short sleek coat, so one fits an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). On the 2024 bath chart a short coat is $35 at 16 to 25 pounds and $40 at 26 to 50; please ask to confirm.

Sicily's ancient coursing hound is sleek and sinewy, quick in bursts, and mild at home. The AKC calls Cirnechi low-maintenance companions cherished for loyal and gentle natures.

## Economy is enough

Dogs measure 18 to 20 inches and 20 to 28 pounds, bitches 17 to 19 inches and 19 to 25. A dog that light fits Economy (about 16 square feet inside plus 48 outside) at $52 a night, even with long legs. Two Cirnechi from one home share for $52 and $44.

## Short on head, ears and legs

The current standard calls for a coat short on the head, ears and legs and about an inch long on the body and tail, sleek and close, from fine to slightly coarse, with no feathering. The bath chart effective January 1, 2024 lists a short coat at $35 for 16 to 25 pounds and $40 for 26 to 50. A female is more likely to be $35, a male $35 or $40. Please ask to confirm.

## Bursts of speed

The AKC calls the breed an athletic hunter given to quick bursts of speed. The large fenced play areas and the grass field are where a sprinter spends it, and walks are included in the nightly fee. Fast, light dogs can slip a collar, so the staff walk each dog in from the car on a leash.

## Keeping a thin-coated dog comfortable

A thin coat is little protection against cold nights. The runs are heated in winter, and each has a Kuranda bed and blankets. In summer the air-conditioned side is there when the sun is strong, and the dog picks through the doggie door.

## Records and rates

Dogs must be at least 16 weeks old and current on rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella. Canine influenza is recommended but not required. Medications are given at no extra charge, and check-out is by 11:30 AM. If you pick up in the afternoon, between 2:00 and 5:00 PM, that day is half of the nightly fee.
