[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) [Usually fits a Business Class kennel $59 a night ยท 5 x 6 ft inside](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/business-class-kennel/) - **Weight (AKC):** 55 to 90 lb - **Kennel:** Business Class, 5 x 6 ft - **Per night:** $59 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $45 to $50 A Weimaraner is a large dog, 70 to 90 pounds for males and 55 to 75 for females by the AKC, with a sleek short coat, so one fits a Business Class kennel (5x6 ft, $59 a night on the 2026 rates). On the 2024 bath chart a short coat is $45 at 51 to 75 pounds and $50 at 76 to 100. AKC calls the Weimaraner Germany's sleek, swift Gray Ghost, with plenty of exercise and lots of quality time with humans. Boarding one means an active, attached dog. ## Business Class for most Males are 25 to 27 inches, females 23 to 25. A big male who likes his space can use First Class at $72. Two Weimaraners from one home pay $72 plus $61 there. ## Short coat The coat is short, smooth and silver-gray (a longhaired variety exists). Shedding is 3 of 5 by AKC. The cell is $45 for 51 to 75 pounds and $50 for 76 to 100. Ask to confirm. ## Exercise Energy is 5 of 5. Weimaraners need real activity. Walks are included, and the large fenced areas and grass field are a good outlet. ## Attached dogs Weimaraners are known to bond closely. A familiar blanket, one toy and a note about your routine help. A tour any day (9 to 11 AM, 2 to 4 PM) shows you where your dog will stay. ## Gray ghosts and glass Weimaraners are known for pale eyes and a sleek look. Make sure the collar is snug and carries a current tag. ## Plan for activity A tour shows the large fenced play areas and the grass field before you book. ## 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). ## Booking and hours Drop-off and pick-up are every day, 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2 to 5 PM. Check-out is by 11:30 AM, and an afternoon pick-up is half the nightly fee. Request a stay online or call 707-678-6600. ## Costs and records A week in Business is 7 x $59 = $413 on the 2026 rates; 14 nights or more is $53. About 100 days a year reach 90 degrees at nearby Vacaville (NOAA). 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. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Weimaraner breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/weimaraner/) - [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.
