[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) [Usually fits a Business Class kennel $59 a night ยท 5 x 6 ft inside](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/business-class-kennel/) - **Weight (AKC):** 60 to 75 lb - **Kennel:** Business Class, 5 x 6 ft - **Per night:** $59 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $45 An English Foxhound is more than double a Beagle's weight, 24 inches at the shoulder and 60 to 75 pounds by the AKC, so one fits a Business Class kennel (5x6 ft, $59 a night on the 2026 rates). On the 2024 bath chart a short coat is $45 at 51 to 75 pounds; please ask to confirm. A Beagle sits in Economy; a Foxhound does not. The AKC calls it a substantial galloping hound of great stamina, with legs straight as a gatepost and a very deep chest. ## Business Class, not Economy The Foxhound is about 24 inches at the shoulder and 60 to 75 pounds, while a [Beagle](https://happypawskennels.com/breeds/beagle/) is 13 to 15 inches and under 30 pounds. A dog with long straight legs needs the 5x6 foot Business Class run, about 30 square feet inside plus 60 outside, at $59 a night. Two Foxhounds from one home can share a First Class run for $72 and $61. ## Short, dense, hard and glossy The standard says color is not very important so long as it is a good hound color, while the coat should be short, dense, hard and glossy. Hound colors are black, tan and white in any combination, as well as various pies. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, a short coat at 51 to 75 pounds is $45. Please ask to confirm. ## Stamina is the point Deep-chested hounds were built to run with a pack for hours. The standard says the chest may girth as much as 31 inches on a hound 24 inches tall, to give plenty of lung power. The large fenced play areas and the grass field are where that goes, and walks are included in the nightly fee. A long walk in the morning helps the first night go smoothly. ## Neighbors and company Each dog has its own run, and dogs see their neighbors through the fence. If two Foxhounds live together, they can stay together, with the second dog about 15 percent off. Staff carry belongings in and walk your hound in from the car. ## Heat, bedding and booking A short coat copes with dry heat, but a large athletic dog can still overdo it. The runs are air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter, and each has a Kuranda bed and blankets. Bring rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella records. Canine influenza is recommended but not required.
