[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) [Usually fits an Economy Class kennel $52 a night ยท 4 x 4 ft inside](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/economy-class-kennel/) - **Weight (AKC):** 42 to 60 lb - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $45 to $50 The AKC lists an Irish Red and White Setter at 42 to 60 pounds for a male and 35 to 50 for a female, which is lighter than an English Setter's 45 to 80, so a female fits an Economy kennel ($52 a night on the 2026 rates) and a larger male moves to Business Class ($59). On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the medium column is $45 at 26 to 50 pounds and $50 at 51 to 75; please ask to confirm. Compared with the English Setter, the Irish Red and White is the smaller, stockier bird dog, and the AKC also calls it a bit shorter and stockier than its cousin the Irish Setter. That changes the kennel for many of them. ## Where the kennel line falls Females at 35 to 50 pounds and 22.5 to 24 inches fit Economy, 4x4 ft, $52 a night. Males run 24.5 to 26 inches and 42 to 60 pounds, so a male above 50 pounds is a Business Class dog (5x6 ft, $59 a night). Two setters from the same home sharing Business Class are $59 and $50. If you are unsure, call 707-678-6600 with the weight. ## Natural coat, weekly brush The AKC says coat care is fairly simple, because the breed should look as natural as possible, with scissors or clippers only to tidy rough edges. It asks for an all-over brush-through once a week to remove tangles, ear checks weekly and a bath about monthly. After a day in the grass field the feathering holds burrs, so a bath before pick-up is worth a question. On the 2024 chart the medium column is $45 at 26 to 50 pounds and $50 at 51 to 75. Please ask to confirm. ## High energy, easy on the joints for young dogs The AKC calls the IRWS a high-energy dog that needs a lot of exercise and says a bored one can be a handful. For puppies up to 18 months it advises long walks and free exercise in a fenced area, with no jogging or biking, to protect the joints. Adults make walking and hiking companions. The large fenced play areas and grass field at the kennel are free-run space, and walks are included. ## Rates in plain numbers A second dog from your home sharing the run is $50 a night, and from 14 nights the rate drops to $53. The balance is due at pick-up, and check-out is by 11:30 AM. For 7 nights, one Irish Red and White Setter in [Business Class](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/business-class-kennel/) (5x6 ft) is 7 x $59 = $413 on the 2026 rates. 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. ## Red and white in the sun The red and white coat was bred so hunters can see the dog at a distance. In Dixon, the NOAA Vacaville normals count about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more, so the air-conditioned side of the run is where a feathered setter will rest in the afternoon.
