[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 22 lb - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $45 The AKC lists a Scottish Terrier at 10 inches and 18 to 22 pounds, so one fits an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the extra long or double coated column is $45 at 16 to 25 pounds; please ask to confirm. The Scottie is short-legged, confident and called the Diehard for good reason. A kennel run should suit a dog with opinions. ## Small, sturdy, independent At 10 inches tall and 18 to 22 pounds, a Scottie fits Economy, 4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates. The AKC lists good-with-dogs as with supervision, and a run of one is the simple choice. ## Coat and baths A wiry topcoat and soft dense undercoat, black, wheaten or brindle per the AKC, with beard and leg furnishings and occasional shedding. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, a 16 to 25 pound dog is $45 in the double coated column. Please ask to confirm. ## Independent, spirited, vocal The AKC says Scotties are aloof with strangers and have a strong hunting instinct, and its characteristics mark a barking level of likes to be vocal. They enjoy brisk walks and upbeat play. The daily walks that are included and the fenced play areas suit that. ## Heat, cold and the run A short-legged dog is close to hot pavement. At check-in staff may scoop and hurry on a hot day. The air-conditioned indoor side of the run gives a Scottie relief. ## A confident dog in a new place The AKC describes a Scottie as independent, confident and dignified. Many Scotties settle quickly in a run with a view of the fence line. Bring one toy, but not the favorite, and remove any metal pinch (prong) collar before check-in. ## Other animals and neighbors Because the AKC notes a strong hunting instinct, a run of one is the simple choice. The runs let dogs see neighbors through the fence while each keeps its own space. A Scottie from your own home can share with another small dog at $44 for the second. ## Rates and timing Economy is $52 a night on the 2026 rates. A 5 night stay is 5 x $52 = $260. Drop-off and pick-up run daily from 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM. ## Adding up a Scottish Terrier stay These are 2026 rate-sheet prices, and the balance is due 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). **Economy kennel, 2026 rates** | Stay | One Scottish Terrier | Second dog from your home sharing | | --- | --- | --- | | 3 nights | 3 x $52 = $156 | 3 x $44 = $132 | | 7 nights | 7 x $52 = $364 | 7 x $44 = $308 | | 14 nights (reduced rate) | 14 x $47 = $658 | 14 x $44 = $616 | ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Scottish Terrier breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/scottish-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.
