[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 lb - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $30 A Norwich Terrier is one of the smallest terriers: no more than 10 inches at the withers and about 12 pounds by the AKC standard, so it fits an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). On the 2024 bath chart a wiry Medium coat at 15 pounds or less is $30. Norwich are gay, fearless, loyal and affectionate in the standard's words, and they were made to be adaptable companions. Pick the right kennel and the rest of a stay is easy. ## The right size room At 10 inches and about 12 pounds, a Norwich uses a fraction of Economy. The run is about 16 square feet inside and 48 outside. Two Norwich from one home can share for $52 plus $44, and sharing often keeps a social terrier happy. ## A hard, straight coat with an undercoat The coat is hard, wiry and straight, lying close to the body over a definite undercoat, with a protective mane on the neck and shoulders. The standard prefers it natural, with only minimal tidying. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the 15 pounds or less row shows $30 in the Medium column. Please ask to confirm. If your dog is shown, leave coat notes on the boarding agreement. ## Small and sporting The standard calls Norwich sporting, and the AKC page calls terriers of this type plucky little earthdogs. Expect a dog who digs in the grass field and checks every corner of the large fenced play areas. Walks are included. A snug collar or harness matters for a dog that will follow a scent. ## Heat, cold and a thick undercoat The NOAA Vacaville station (1991-2020 normals) records about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more, so a dog with an undercoat does best in the air-conditioned inside half through the afternoon. In winter the runs are heated and a Kuranda bed keeps a small dog off the floor. ## Weekend and week costs A weekend of 3 nights is 3 x $52 = $156 on the 2026 rates. A week is 7 x $52 = $364. At 14 nights or more the rate is $47. Medications are given at no extra charge. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Norwich Terrier breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/norwich-terrier/) - [American Kennel Club - Official Standard of the Norwich Terrier](https://images.akc.org/pdf/breeds/standards/NorwichTerrier.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.
