[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):** 35 to 70 lb - **Height (AKC):** 20 to 24 in - **Kennel:** Business Class, 5 x 6 ft - **Per night:** $59 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $45 to $50 The AKC lists a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon at 22 to 24 inches (male) and 20 to 22 inches (female) and 50 to 70 pounds for males and 35 to 50 for females, so one fits a Business Class kennel (5x6 ft, $59 a night on the 2026 rates). On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the medium column is $45 at 26 to 50 pounds and $50 at 51 to 75 pounds; please ask to confirm. The Griff is called the supreme gundog, and the AKC says its handsome looks come from ruggedness rather than fussy care. ## A medium gundog with a wiry coat Griffs run 35 to 70 pounds, with males taller than females. Business Class at $59 a night suits a male; a female can use Economy at $52. The AKC lists good-with-children and dogs-with-supervision, so two Griffs from one home can share. ## Coat and baths The AKC describes an extremely harsh and bristly coat, medium length, wiry and double, shedding seasonally. The breed is known for low shedding. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the medium column is $45 at 26 to 50 pounds and $50 at 51 to 75. Please ask to confirm. ## Outgoing, eager and quick-witted The AKC calls Griffs outgoing, eager and loving at home and incomparable in the field. A field dog like this does best with walking time, so the included walks and the grass field are the heart of a Griff's stay. Mention any cue words your dog responds to on the boarding agreement. ## Heat, cold and the run A wire coat is more weatherproof than insulating, but a gundog will work through the heat if allowed. Air-conditioned inside space lets a Griff cool down. Keep exercise to the cooler hours. ## Field dog, kennel stay Griffs are happiest with a job. The grass field, fenced play areas and daily walks are the closest the kennel gets to a field day, and an additional picture play session is $14.99 per kennel. Note the commands your dog knows on the boarding agreement. ## Sharing and costs A male Griff in Business Class is $59 a night, and a female in Economy is $52. Two from one home sharing Business Class pay $59 and $50. From 14 nights the rate drops to $53 in Business Class. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Wirehaired Pointing Griffon breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/wirehaired-pointing-griffon/) - [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.
