[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) - **Weight (AKC):** 26 to 34 lb - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $45 to $55 An English Cocker Spaniel is a medium dog, 28 to 34 pounds for males and 26 to 32 for females by the AKC, with a medium to long feathered coat, so one fits an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). On the 2024 bath chart the 26 to 50 pound row is $45 in the Medium column and $55 in the Extra Long or Double Coated column. The English Cocker is the taller, heavier, longer-legged spaniel, not the American Cocker. AKC calls the breed merry, upbeat in the field and mellow at home, with a silky coat and a bird dog build. ## Taller and heavier than the American Cocker Males stand 16 to 17 inches and females 15 to 16, which is about an inch and a half taller than the American Cocker and several pounds heavier. That extra frame still sits comfortably in Economy, about 16 square feet inside plus 48 outside with a Kuranda bed. Two English Cockers from one home share for $52 plus $44. If yours is a stocky 34 pounder who likes to stretch out, [Business Class](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/business-class-kennel/) at $59 is the roomier choice. ## Coat and bath cell AKC lists the coat as double, medium to long, with feathering on the ears, chest, belly and legs. At 26 to 50 pounds the 2024 chart reads $45 for a Medium coat and $55 for Extra Long or Double Coated; a dog kept in a short sporting clip is nearer the Medium cell. Please ask to confirm the cell when you book. ## Ears, feathers and a long stay Long ears drag through water and gravy, and burrs and mud collect in the leg feathering after play. On a stay of a week or more, a bath on the last day sends your dog home clean. AKC puts shedding at 3 of 5. ## Energy: field dog, house dog AKC places energy at 3 of 5, moderate. These spaniels were bred to work a field and love a ball, so the fenced play areas and the grass field suit them, and walks are included. They settle calmly in the run afterward. ## Heat and the feathered coat Vacaville, about 8 miles away, records around 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more (NOAA, 1991-2020 normals). A heavy feathered coat holds that heat, so the air-conditioned inside half of the run matters. Your dog picks inside or out through the doggie door. ## Booking Rabies, distemper/parvo, Bordetella and canine influenza records must be good through the last day.
