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.

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?
