[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):** 11 to 12 lb - **Height (AKC):** 9 to 10 in - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $25 A Norfolk Terrier is a small dog, 11 to 12 pounds and 9 to 10 inches by the AKC, with a short wiry double coat, so one fits an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). On the 2024 bath chart the 15 pounds or less row is $25 for a short coat. The AKC describes the Norfolk Terrier as feisty, confident, sturdy and game for adventure. All of that comes in a dog that stands about nine to ten inches tall. ## A small dog in a small kennel Economy is the smallest kennel, and a Norfolk Terrier uses only a fraction of it: about 16 square feet inside and 48 outside, with a Kuranda bed. Two Norfolks from the same home can share the run for $52 and $44 a night. After 14 nights the rate is $47. ## Wiry coat, one bath row The AKC lists the coat as short, wiry and double, with seasonal shedding. At 11 to 12 pounds every Norfolk is in the first row of the bath chart, 15 pounds or less, where Short is $25 and Medium is $30. A wiry coat is a choice for a bath, not a requirement; please ask to confirm the price. ## Game for adventure A terrier that likes adventure enjoys the walks included in every stay and a run through the grass field. The AKC says Norfolks like to be vocal, so neighbors in nearby runs may hear him. The runs are separate, and dogs see each other through the fence. ## Heat and cool The double coat is made for cool, damp weather. Dixon summers run hot: NOAA's Vacaville station records about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more. A small dog does well in the air-conditioned inside half of the run, and your dog picks inside or out through the doggie door. The runs are heated in winter. ## Paperwork and arrival Rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella need to be current through your last day. Canine influenza is recommended but not required. Dogs must arrive flea and tick free, and a wiry double coat hides both. Leave your Norfolk in the car at check-in while staff carry the bag, then they walk your dog in. ## A short weekend A three-night weekend in Economy is 3 x $52 on the 2026 rates. Medications are given at no extra charge, and house food is free or bring your own in its original bag. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Norfolk Terrier breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/norfolk-terrier/) - [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.
