What does KENNEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small shelter in which a dog is kept, or a place where dogs are bred, boarded or cared for.
People use the word both for a little doghouse in a garden and for a whole business that houses many dogs at once. A breeder may run a kennel of a single breed, and owners who travel often leave their pets at a boarding kennel. The word also names a group of hounds, and as a verb it means to put a dog into such a place. It came into English from Old French and is related to the Latin word for dog.
