[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) [Usually fits a First Class kennel $72 a night ยท 6 x 8 ft inside](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/first-class-kennel/) - **Weight (AKC):** 90 to 170 lb - **Height (AKC):** 25.5 to 31.5 in - **Kennel:** First Class, 6 x 8 ft - **Per night:** $72 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $75 to $85 The AKC lists a Leonberger at 28 to 31.5 inches (male) and 25.5 to 29.5 inches (female) and 110 to 170 pounds for males and 90 to 140 for females, so one fits a First Class kennel (6x8 ft, $72 a night on the 2026 rates). On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the extra long or double coated column is $75 at 76 to 100 pounds and $85 at over 100 pounds; please ask to confirm. The Leonberger is a lush-coated giant. The AKC says Leos require lots of brushing. ## Coat and baths The AKC describes a medium-long waterproof double coat and, on males, a lion-like mane, with regular shedding. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the double coated column is $75 at 76 to 100 pounds and $85 over 100. Please ask to confirm. ## Gentle, friendly, nobody's fool The AKC calls Leonbergers gentle, friendly and playful, with serene patience. Ample room for romping is part of what the AKC says Leos need, and the grass field and fenced play areas serve that. ## Heat, cold and the run A thick waterproof coat holds heat. The air-conditioned inside run is the right place for a Leonberger on a summer day. ## Brushing and the bath The AKC says Leos require lots of brushing. A coat that is brushed out before drop-off is easier to care for through the week. A bath before pick-up is available for boarders; please ask. ## Rates and room At 90 to 170 pounds, a Leonberger fits First Class (6x8 ft, $72 a night). First Class is $72 a night on the 2026 rates, or $65 from 14 nights. A 7 night stay is 7 x $72 = $504. The run is 6x8 ft, with about 48 square feet inside and 72 outside, and a Kuranda bed. ## Hand-off Leave your Leonberger in the car at check-in, and staff will walk him in. All breeds are welcome, neutered or intact, from 16 weeks of age. ## What a stay for a Leonberger costs Every figure here is from the 2026 rates; the balance is paid at pick-up. The reduced rate starts at 14 nights; active military families pay that same reduced rate, about 10 percent off (the rate sheet does not list the two as combining; call 707-678-6600 to confirm). **First Class kennel, 2026 rates** | Stay | One Leonberger | Second dog from your home sharing | | --- | --- | --- | | 3 nights | 3 x $72 = $216 | 3 x $61 = $183 | | 7 nights | 7 x $72 = $504 | 7 x $61 = $427 | | 14 nights (reduced rate) | 14 x $65 = $910 | 14 x $61 = $854 | ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Leonberger breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/leonberger/) - [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.
