In the early part of the twentieth century, the breed gained social stature and was accepted by the American Kennel Club as the American Staffordshire Terrier. They are not to be confused with the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The American Staffordshire terrier is a medium-sized, short-coated dog breed whose early ancestors came from England.
What is Kennel?
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. 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”.
