Boarding a Miniature Pinscher

A Min Pin is the King of Toys, with a big-dog personality in a small body.

Toy size, big attitude

At 8 to 10 pounds, a Miniature Pinscher fits Economy (4x4 ft, $52 a night). Two Min Pins from one home can share at $52 and $44.

Coat and baths

Smooth, shiny and short, per the AKC, with occasional shedding. A thin coat on a small body wants warmth. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, 15 pounds or less is $25 in the short column. Please ask to confirm.

Proud, fearless and fun-loving

The AKC calls Min Pins proud, fearless and fun-loving, and lists a frequent barking level. The high-stepping hackney gait makes them fun to watch on a walk. Walks are included.

Heat, cold and the run

A short coat gives a toy dog little protection, so the heated runs and blankets in winter matter, and the air-conditioned runs keep summer comfortable.

Check-in for a tiny dog

A 10 pound dog crosses hot pavement quickly. Leave your Min Pin in the car at arrival, and staff will carry or walk him in. Bring one toy that is not the favorite, and a slow-feeder bowl if he uses one.

Winter warmth

The runs are heated in winter, with a Kuranda bed and blankets. A smooth short coat on a toy dog appreciates that.

Rates and sharing

Economy is $52 a night on the 2026 rates, and two Min Pins from one home pay $52 and $44. For 14 or more nights Economy is $47 a night, so 14 nights is 14 x $47 = $658. A bath is available for boarders; please ask.

A week for one Miniature Pinscher

Figures are from the 2026 rates. You pay the balance 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).
