AKC calls the Vizsla a versatile, red-coated gundog built for long days in the field, with elegance as well as ruggedness. At a kennel the main job is to keep a very energetic, people-oriented dog content.
Business Class
Males are 22 to 24 inches, females 21 to 23. A lean Vizsla stretches out well in Business Class. Two from one home pay $59 plus $50.
Short rust coat
The coat is short, smooth and dense, and AKC puts shedding at 3 of 5. Short is $40 or $45 depending on weight. Ask to confirm.
Energy 5 of 5
Vizslas want to run for hours. Walks are included, and the large fenced areas and grass field help. Vizslas often cling to their people; staff reassure and keep a routine.
Thin coat, both seasons
A single short coat holds little warmth in winter and little shade in summer. The runs are heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer, and a Kuranda bed keeps a lean dog off the floor. The normal July high near Dixon is about 97 degrees (NOAA, Vacaville).
Separation
Vizslas bond tightly. A short, quiet drop-off with a familiar blanket in the car is easier on a clingy dog than a long goodbye.
Walks
Walks are included, and a lean dog with a short coat does well on a brisk one in the cool of the morning.
What a stay costs
A 6-night stay in Business Class is 6 x $59 on the 2026 rates. A second dog from the same home is $50, and 14 nights or more is $53 a night; active military families pay that same reduced rate (the rate sheet does not list the two as combining; call 707-678-6600 to confirm).
Records and flea check
Bring rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella proof good through the last day. Canine influenza is recommended but not required. Arrive free of fleas and ticks, or the dog is bathed at the owner's cost. Neutered or intact, all breeds are welcome.
Costs and records
A week in Business Class is 7 x $59 = $413 on the 2026 rates; 14 nights or more is $53. Rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella records must be good through the last day, and your dog should be 16 weeks or older before the first day. Canine influenza is recommended but not required.
