Definition
Plural of kennel; shelters or enclosures for dogs, or facilities that house dogs temporarily.
Etymology
From Old French 'chenil' from 'chien' (dog), ultimately from Latin 'canis'. The word entered English in the 14th century, originally referring to a pack of dogs, then to their shelter. The modern sense of a boarding facility developed in the 19th century.
Kelly Says
The evolution from 'pack of dogs' to 'dog shelter' reflects changing human-animal relationships. Medieval kennels housed hunting packs as working units, while modern kennels focus on individual pet care and comfort—a shift from utility to companionship that mirrors broader changes in how we view animals.
