[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):** 23 to 24 lb - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $40 The AKC lists a Sealyham Terrier at 10.5 inches and 23 to 24 pounds for a male, a little less for a female, so one fits an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the medium column is $40 at 16 to 25 pounds; please ask to confirm. The Sealy is the strongest of the short-legged terriers, and the AKC adds a warning that matters in Dixon: it can overheat in hot, humid weather. ## Heat is the one warning The AKC says Sealys can overheat in hot, humid weather and that the cooler early morning and evening are the time for exercise. Dixon is hot and dry rather than humid, but the NOAA Vacaville normals show about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more. The inside half of the run is air-conditioned in summer, and your dog chooses inside or out through the doggie door. ## Low, solid, 24 pounds A Sealyham is under 11 inches at the shoulder but dense, which is why the AKC says it is not big enough to be a medium dog yet is among the strongest small dogs. All of that fits in Economy at $52 a night, and two from one home share for $52 and $44. ## A jacket that mats The AKC says the weather-resistant double jacket and the furnishings on the legs and body must be combed and brushed every two or three days, because Sealy coats mat easily. The coat does not shed but is hand-stripped or clipped regularly, and a pet Sealy can be kept short with minimal furnishings. The AKC suggests a bath every three to four weeks. On the kennel's 2024 chart the cell is the medium column at 16 to 25 pounds, $40. Please ask to confirm. ## Plenty of exercise, mostly calm after The AKC says Sealys love to run in a safely enclosed area and enjoy plenty of exercise, and that a moderately tired Sealy is calmer in the house. The fenced play areas and the grass field fit that, and walks are included. Grass stains on white furnishings are common, per the AKC, so a post-stay bath is a reasonable request. ## Paying for the stay Stays of 14 nights or more get the reduced rate, so 21 nights for one Sealyham Terrier in [Economy](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/economy-class-kennel/) is 21 x $47 = $987 on the 2026 rates. The balance is due at pick-up, and check-out is by 11:30 AM. Each night is $47, against $52 for shorter stays. A second dog from your home sharing the run is $44. Military families pay that same reduced rate, about 10 percent off; the sheet does not list the two as combining, so call 707-678-6600 to confirm. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Sealyham Terrier breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/sealyham-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.

The AKC cautions about hot, humid weather. The runs are air-conditioned in summer and dogs can choose inside. ### How much does a three-week stay cost? 21 x $47 = $987 on the 2026 rates, since the reduced rate starts at 14 nights. ### Should I have the coat trimmed first? Optional. The AKC says a pet Sealy can be kept short, which is easier to maintain; tell the front desk how yours is usually kept.
