A Dachshund is low to the floor but not low on opinions. AKC calls the breed bold and vivacious, and a boarding stay suits that: lots of sniffing, short walks and a snug bed.
Two sizes, three coats
AKC describes standards at 8 to 9 inches, 16 to 32 pounds, and miniatures at 5 to 6 inches and 11 pounds or less. Both fit Economy comfortably, and two dachshunds from one home can share a run. Coats come smooth, long or wire-haired, and the bath column follows the coat: Extra Short for smooth dogs, up to Medium for a longhair. For a miniature, the row is 15 pounds or less, $20 to $30 depending on coat. A standard at 16 to 25 pounds is $30 to $40.
Shedding and brushing
AKC scores shedding at 2 of 5, light, and the longer coats need a brush at home as much as here. Please ask for the right bath price, since the three coats do not cost the same.
Back and stairs
A long body and short legs make some Dachshunds careful on steps and jumps. If yours has had a back injury, is on medication or has a rule at home such as no jumping, put it on the form and the staff will follow it. Medications are given at no extra charge. The Kuranda bed keeps a dog off the floor.
Digging, burrowing and play
Dachshunds were bred to go after badgers underground, so a burrowing dog may pull blankets into a nest. That is normal. The AKC rates energy at 3 of 5, and daily walks plus a few minutes on the grass field cover it.
Telling us about your Dachshund
Put anything that matters on the form: a back problem, a rule about jumping, a medication, a dog who needs help with stairs, or a dog who has to be carried down. Staff follow the sheet. A Dachshund is also an opinionated eater, and the free house food, with wet food and treats, usually wins them over; your own food is welcome in its original bag.
Short stays and long stays
A weekend is 3 nights, 3 x $52 in Economy on the 2026 rates, and a two-week stay drops to the 14-night rate of $47 a night. Check-out is by 11:30 AM; an afternoon pick-up is half the nightly fee. Dogs are walked daily, which is included, and a long-bodied dog does well on short, frequent walks.
