[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):** 12 to 22 lb - **Height (AKC):** 10 to 16 in - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $25 to $35 Manchester Terriers come in two AKC varieties: the Standard is 12 to 22 pounds and 15 to 16 inches, the Toy is under 12 pounds and 10 to 12 inches, and both fit an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). On the 2024 bath chart a smooth short coat is $25 for a Toy at 15 pounds or less and $35 for a Standard at 16 to 25 pounds. The AKC calls the Manchester spirited, bright and athletic, with the sleek, racy lines of a coursing hound and a terrier's ratting instinct. The coat is the easy part, and the attention span is the busy part. ## Two sizes, one kennel A Standard Manchester weighs 12 to 22 pounds and a Toy under 12. Neither needs more than Economy, about 16 square feet inside plus 48 outside with a Kuranda bed and blankets. Two Manchesters from one home share for $52 and $44 a night. ## Smooth coat, short column The AKC lists a short, smooth coat with occasional shedding. A Toy of 15 pounds or less is in the first row of the 2024 bath chart, where Short is $25. A Standard of 16 to 25 pounds is in the second, where Short is $35. A very sleek coat may be priced in the Extra Short column, which is $20 and $30 in those rows. Please ask to confirm. ## Athletic and alert A dog built like a coursing hound likes to move. Walks are included, and the large fenced play areas and the grass field are where an athletic terrier spends energy. The AKC rates barking as a dog that likes to be vocal, so the staff will hear about any visitor. ## Thin coat in both seasons Short and smooth means little insulation. The runs are heated in winter, and your dog can burrow into blankets in a Kuranda bed. Summer is the opposite problem: NOAA's Vacaville station records about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more, so the air-conditioned inside half is the right place for the afternoon. ## Costs and records A long weekend of 3 nights in Economy is 3 x $52 on the 2026 rates, and 14 nights or more is $47 a night. Vaccines must be current through the last day: rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella. Canine influenza is recommended but not required. Medications are given at no extra charge. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Manchester Terrier breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/manchester-terrier-standard/) - [American Kennel Club - Manchester Terrier (Toy)](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/manchester-terrier-toy/) - [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.
