On the 2024 bath chart the 26 to 50 pound row is $45 in Medium. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) AKC describes a sweet-faced bird dog of great energy, stamina and brains: handsome pets during the week and trusty hunting buddies on weekends. That is the dog that arrives for a stay. ## Right-sized run Males stand 20 inches, females 19. A Springer is lean and athletic, and Business Class gives it room to trot around the run. Economy works for one calm female. Two Springers from one home pay $59 plus $50. ## Feathers and burrs The coat is flat or wavy with feathering on the ears, chest, legs and belly. Feathering collects seeds, foxtails and mud after play. Check your dog before drop-off. The bath chart shows $45 in the Medium column for 26 to 50 pounds, or $55 if a thick coat is priced in the Double Coated column. Shedding is 3 of 5 by the AKC. ## Bird-dog energy Energy is 4 of 5. A Springer needs to run, so the grass field and the large fenced play areas suit. Walks are included. Ears flap and trap water, so tell the staff if your dog has ear trouble. ## Weather Near Dixon about 100 days a year reach 90 degrees (NOAA, Vacaville). A hardworking dog will keep going past what is good for it, so staff steer active time to cooler hours. ## After the field If your Springer comes straight from a weekend afield, check ears, paws and feathering for foxtails and burrs. A dog that arrives with fleas or ticks is bathed at the owner's cost. ## Water and ears Long, heavy ears trap moisture. Mention any ear trouble, and keep your vet's instructions on the form; medications are given at no extra charge. ## What a stay costs A 7-night stay in Business Class is 7 x $59 on the 2026 rates. A second dog from the same home is $50, and 14 nights or more is $53 a night; active military families pay that same reduced rate (the rate sheet does not list the two as combining; call 707-678-6600 to confirm). ## Costs and paperwork A week in Business Class is 7 x $59 = $413 on the 2026 rates. Rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella records must be good through the last day, and your dog should be 16 weeks or older before the first day. Canine influenza is recommended but not required. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - English Springer Spaniel breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/english-springer-spaniel/) - [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.
