Okay, I couldn't decided whether this warranted its own article space. I would have preferred to leave a redirect here and merge this with kennel because it's so short, but they're not synonymous except, literally in the sense of "doghouse". Know what I mean?

Oh, is this ever going to be fun to create a photo gallery for. :-)  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 23:51, 15 October 2007 (CDT)

Hmmm...lots of pictures of husbands in doghouses?? Aleta Curry 02:07, 16 October 2007 (CDT)
Well, maybe, I try not to know. ;-) But I have seen doghouses more elaborate and nice than the homes of the human poor in the developing world. :-(  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 02:15, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

usage

I'm not sure that Brits use kennel in the sense you describe here. I have always used kennel to refer to a boarding house for dogs. The place you take a dog when you go on a trip. Kennels take cat boarders too. I would use, as a Brit, the term doghouse to refer to the shed in the back garden that houses a single dog.
