[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):** 18 to 70 lb - **Height (AKC):** 10 to 14 in - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $35 to $40 A Miniature Bull Terrier is the compact version: 10 to 14 inches and 18 to 28 pounds by the AKC, against the 50 to 70 pounds of the standard Bull Terrier, so one fits an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). On the 2024 bath chart a short coat is $35 at 16 to 25 pounds and $40 at 26 to 50. Same egg-shaped head, a third of the weight. The AKC calls these upbeat, mischievous dogs who come equipped with terrier fire and fearlessness, and the standard asks for a dog full of fire but amenable to discipline. ## Smaller frame, smaller kennel The larger [Bull Terrier](https://happypawskennels.com/breeds/bull-terrier/) is a Business Class dog. The miniature stands 10 to 14 inches, and the AKC weight chart lists 18 to 28 pounds. That is Economy territory: about 16 square feet inside plus 48 outside, $52 a night on the 2026 rates. A pair from one home shares for $52 plus $44. A minibull that does not like to share can take Business Class at $59. ## A coat that is one length all over The standard asks for a straight, short, flat and harsh coat with a fine gloss and tight skin. Not much to tangle, but a white coat shows dirt, and a few days outdoors leaves a mark. Use the Short column on the bath chart effective January 1, 2024: $35 in the 16 to 25 pound row and $40 at 26 to 50 pounds. Please ask to confirm the price. ## Fire, fearlessness and a plan for it Miniatures are muscular for their size and love a project. Walks are included, and the grass field and large fenced play areas give the energy somewhere to go. Pack one durable toy that is not the favorite, because this is a dog that tests plush. Write down on the boarding agreement anything that sets your dog off. ## Heat and a thin coat A short single coat gives little insulation in winter, and the runs are heated with a Kuranda bed and blankets. In summer the NOAA Vacaville station (1991-2020 normals) records about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more. A white minibull can pick up sun, so the air-conditioned inside half is the midday pick. ## Cost example Five nights in Economy is 5 x $52 = $260 on the 2026 rates. From 14 nights the rate is $47 a night. The kennel confirms every reservation after your online request. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Miniature Bull Terrier breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/miniature-bull-terrier/) - [American Kennel Club - Official Standard of the Miniature Bull Terrier](https://images.akc.org/pdf/breeds/standards/MiniatureBullTerrier.pdf) - [American Kennel Club - Breed Weight Chart](https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/breed-weight-chart/) - [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/) ### 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.

Call [707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) (every day 7:30-11:30 AM and 2-5 PM) or see the [boarding FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/). ### Is a Miniature Bull Terrier the same as a puppy Bull Terrier? No. It is a separate AKC breed of 10 to 14 inches and 18 to 28 pounds, so it fits Economy rather than Business Class. ### Can two miniatures share a run? If they come from the same home, yes: $52 for the first and $44 for the second. ### Does a minibull need the canine flu vaccine? Yes. Rabies, distemper/parvo, Bordetella and canine influenza must be on file through the last day of the stay.
