[Usually fits an Economy Class kennel $52 a night · 4 x 4 ft inside](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/economy-class-kennel/)

- **Weight (AKC):** 32 to 40 lb

- **Height (AKC):** 12.5 to 14 in

- **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft

- **Per night:** $52

- **Bath (2024 chart):** $45 to $55

The AKC lists a Glen of Imaal Terrier at 12.5 to 14 inches and 32 to 40 pounds, so one fits an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the medium column is $45 at 26 to 50 pounds, and the double-coated column $55; please ask to confirm.

The AKC says Glens are gentler and less excitable than most terriers and calls them a dwarf breed with slightly curved front legs. That shapes how exercise is handled.

## A little more laid-back

The AKC says Glens need only moderate exercise and should not be rushed into strenuous exercise, long walks on leash included, because of the bowed legs. It suggests short and fun walks, play with a toy or ball in a fenced yard, and then a flop to rest. The grass field and the large fenced play areas suit that pace, and walks are included. A Glen can set its own pace.

## Rough outer, soft under

The AKC describes a weather-resistant double coat, with a rough outer coat and soft undercoat, brushed moderately each week to keep the furnishings around ears, neck, legs and belly from matting, and stripped two or three times a year. It says they shed very little as a result. That could be read as the medium column, $45 at 26 to 50 pounds, or the double-coated column, $55. Please ask to confirm which cell applies to your dog.

## Low and heavy

A Glen weighs 32 to 40 pounds on legs under a foot long, so it is a dense little dog. Economy is the fit at $52 a night. Two Glens from one house share the run for $52 and $44.

## Stay math for the Glen of Imaal Terrier

Stays of 14 nights or more get the reduced rate, so 18 nights for one Glen of Imaal Terrier in [Economy](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/economy-class-kennel/) is 18 x $47 = $846 on the 2026 rates.

Each night is $47, against $52 for shorter stays. A second dog from your home sharing the run is $44. The balance is due at pick-up, and check-out is by 11:30 AM. Military families pay that same reduced rate, about 10 percent off; the sheet does not list the two as combining, so call 707-678-6600 to confirm.

## Docile and steady

The AKC calls the Glen brave but docile. Dogs in the neighboring runs can see each other through the fence, but each has its own space. Heat is a factor too: Dixon has about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more by the NOAA Vacaville normals, and a double coat holds warmth, so the air-conditioned inside half is useful.
