A kennel is the name given to any structure or shelter for dogs.
A kennel is a doghouse, run, or other small structure in which
a dog is kept. American English often uses the word "doghouse"
in this context; in British English the term "kennel"
is preferred, but the phrase "in the doghouse" is understood.
Used in the plural, the kennels, the term means any building,
collection of buildings or a property in which dogs are housed,
maintained, and bred.
Breeding kennels
This is a formal establishment for the propagation of purebred
dogs, whether or not the animals are actually housed in a separate
shed, the garage, a state-of the-art facility, or the family
dwelling. Breeding kennels are heavily regulated and must follow
rules laid down by the breed club, the kennel council, and relevant
legislation.
A kennel name or kennel prefix is a name associated with each
breeding kennel: it is the first part of the registered name
of a pedigreed dog which was bred there.
