AKC describes a completely white, smooth-coated athlete bred as a pack hunter for big game. The white coat and pink skin make the sun the first thing to plan for.
Size and run
At 80 to 100 pounds a Dogo is dense muscle. Business Class has about 30 square feet inside plus 60 outside; a dog at the top of the range who sprawls may like First Class at $72.
Short white coat
The coat is short and smooth, with low coat care (1 of 5) and heavier shedding (4 of 5). AKC allows a dark patch near the eye. In the 76 to 100 row, Short is $50 and Extra Short $45. Please ask to confirm.
White coat, sun
White dogs with pink skin can sunburn, and Vacaville logs about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more (NOAA). Spend the hot hours in the air-conditioned inside half of the run, and tell us if your dog wears sunscreen.
Athlete energy
Energy is 5 of 5, the top of the AKC scale. A Dogo needs real exercise, and the large fenced play areas and the grass field are for that. Walks are included.
Cost
A week in Business Class is 7 x $59 on the 2026 rates, and 14 nights or more is $53 a night.
Sun, shade and tours
Tell us about skin sensitivities, scars or spots we should know about. Tours run every day, 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM, with no appointment, and a staff member walks with you through the Business Class runs. Leave your dog in the car at check-in; staff come out and walk the dog in. Check-out is by 11:30 AM, and an afternoon pick-up is half of the nightly fee.
Records and check-in
Rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella records must be good through the last day. Canine influenza is recommended but not required. Leave your dog in the car at check-in; staff walk him or her in. Request a stay or call 707-678-6600.
