I guess it would. If you were to do it that way:
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Kennel");
$array = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$rows = $array[0];
(or similar - I've not tested, but something akin to that will work)

No no!
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM Kennel");
$rows = mysql_num_rows ($result);
