Word origin

The word 'kennel' originated from Middle English 'kenel', which came from Old French 'cheneau' meaning 'pipe' or 'conduit'. It was used in the context of a drain or gutter before evolving to refer to a place where dogs are housed. The term has been used to describe dog shelters and structures for centuries, reflecting the long history of humans domesticating and caring for dogs.
