[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):** 30 to 40 lb - **Height (AKC):** 17 to 19 in - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $45 The AKC lists a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier at 18 to 19 inches (male) and 17 to 18 inches (female) and 35 to 40 pounds for males and 30 to 35 for females, 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 $45 at 26 to 50 pounds; please ask to confirm. The Wheaten's silky coat is the whole story here. The AKC says it needs diligent care to avoid matting. ## Economy size, coat-first stay At 30 to 40 pounds, a Wheaten fits Economy (4x4 ft, $52 a night). Wheatens are described by the AKC as exuberant and friendly, and two from one home can share, with the second at $44. ## Coat and baths The AKC calls the coat silky and gently waving, low-shedding, and says it needs diligent care to avoid matting. Tell the front desk how your Wheaten is usually combed. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the medium column is $45 at 26 to 50 pounds. Please ask to confirm. ## Happy, devoted and just stubborn enough The AKC calls the Wheaten happy, friendly, deeply devoted and just stubborn enough to remind you he is a terrier. It is a farm dog by origin, so a country kennel with a grass field fits it. Walks are included. ## Heat, cold and the run Silky hair is fine in heat when it is clean and combed; a matted coat is not. The runs are air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter. ## Telling the front desk about the coat A Wheaten that arrives freshly combed stays easier through a week away. The AKC says the coat needs diligent care to avoid matting, so write on the boarding agreement how often yours is brushed and where it mats, usually behind the ears and under the legs. A bath before pick-up is available for boarders; ask when you book. ## Rates for a mid-sized terrier Economy is $52 a night for one dog on the 2026 rates, and $47 from 14 nights, so 14 nights is 14 x $47 = $658. Two Wheatens from one home share for $52 and $44. Check-out is by 11:30 AM, and an afternoon pick-up is half of the nightly fee. ## Food and medications The kennel feeds grain-free kibble with wet food at no charge, or you can bring your Wheaten's own food in the original bag with amounts in cups. Medications are given at no extra charge. ## Adding up a Soft Coated Wheaten 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 Soft Coated Wheaten 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 - Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/soft-coated-wheaten-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.
