On the 2024 bath chart a short coat is $35 at 16 to 25 pounds and $25 at 15 or less; please ask to confirm. The AKC calls it the Little Big Dog: compact, slightly rectangular, and happiest when it has a job. A farmdog stay is about giving a small dog with big opinions enough to do. ## Small dog, Economy kennel At 15 to 20 pounds this is one of the lighter dogs on the kennel's 2026 rate sheet. Economy (4x4 ft, about 16 square feet inside plus 48 outside) is the right size, at $52 a night. Two farmdogs from one home can share the same run for $52 and $44. ## Short, smooth coat AKC describes a short, smooth coat in patches of black, brown, yellow, tan and fawn shades, and says coat care comes down to the occasional brushing and bath. On the chart effective January 1, 2024, short coats at 15 pounds or less are $25 and at 16 to 25 pounds are $35. Most farmdogs sit at 15 to 20 pounds, so $35 is the more likely cell. Please ask to confirm. ## A worker with a good brain The AKC says the breed loves to work and enjoys a challenge, and that it matures late. Expect a younger dog to act like a puppy well into its second year. The large fenced play areas and the grass field give a quick small dog room to sprint, and walks are included. A slow-feeder bowl is welcome if your dog uses one. ## Heat, cold and sleeping A short coat gives little insulation in either direction. Runs are heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer, with a Kuranda bed and blankets in each run, so a small farmdog can curl up warm or stay cool. The dog chooses inside or outside through its own door. ## Records and booking Dogs must be 16 weeks or older before the first day, with rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella current through the last day. Canine influenza is recommended but not required.
