:''This article concerns shelter for dogs. For the missile with the code name "kennel", see AS-1 Kennel''
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 but does not mean "in the kennel", rather it is a colloquial phrase meaning (of a person) "in trouble" or "being shunned". 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.
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.
