On the 2024 bath chart, the 26 to 50 pound row runs from $35 to $55. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Medium dogs are the range where two kennels both work, so the choice depends on your dog's habits more than its weight. ## Economy or Business Class The kennel describes Economy as 4x4 feet inside, about 16 square feet, with 48 outside, suited to several small or medium dogs or one large dog. For a medium dog that settles quickly, it is plenty and costs $52 a night. Business Class is 5x6 feet inside, about 30 square feet, with 60 outside, and the kennel suggests it for a pair of large dogs or one who does not like to share. It is $59 a night. Two medium dogs from one home can share Economy for $52 plus $44, or Business Class for $59 plus $50. ## Breeds in the medium range Weights are from each breed's AKC page. The range is wide, so a dog may sit in the next class up or down. If your dog is a mix, use the scale. **Medium breeds and their AKC weights** | Breed | AKC weight | | --- | --- | | Beagle | under 20 to 30 pounds | | Cocker Spaniel | 20 to 30 pounds | | Whippet | 25 to 40 pounds | | Brittany | 30 to 40 pounds | | Border Collie | 30 to 55 pounds | | Australian Cattle Dog | 35 to 50 pounds | | English Springer Spaniel | 40 to 50 pounds | | Bulldog | 40 to 50 pounds | ## The 26 to 50 pound row on the bath chart This row covers a wide variety of coats, from a Boxer-type smooth coat to a Husky-type double coat. Please ask to confirm today's price. A Beagle is a short coat, a Border Collie a medium one and a Husky a double. **Bath chart effective January 1, 2024 (please ask to confirm)** | Weight | Extra short | Short | Medium | Extra long or double | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 26 to 50 pounds | $35 | $40 | $45 | $55 | ## Energy and manners Many medium dogs are working or sporting breeds with plenty of energy. Walks are included, and the large fenced play areas and the grass field give them room to run. A bored medium dog tends to bark, dig or chew, so one toy from home helps, as does a Happy Lick Mat at $4.99 for quiet time. ## Heat and coat nearby Vacaville, the closest weather station, averages about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or higher. Medium dogs with thick coats, such as a Husky or a Corgi, feel it more than a Beagle. Every run is air-conditioned in summer. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Beagle breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/beagle/) - [American Kennel Club - Border Collie breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/border-collie/) - [American Kennel Club - Australian Cattle Dog breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/australian-cattle-dog/) - [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.
