On the 2024 bath chart the 76 to 100 pound row is $50 in the Short column or $45 in Extra Short. 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](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/first-class-kennel/) 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. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Dogo Argentino breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/dogo-argentino/) - [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.
