Lightning Ridge kennel family
Hi! We’re Brandon and Alexis Undernehr, and together with our aunt, Cheryl Stanislaus, we run a small, family kennel in Watts, Oklahoma. Our program was started by our grandparents, Kay and Glenn Fonterhouse, whose standards of honesty, good temperament, and hands-on care still guide everything we do.
Since 2013, our focus has been raising AKC German Shepherds to be lifetime family companions—confident, even-tempered dogs that fit naturally into real homes. Puppies are home-raised, handled every day, and thoughtfully socialized with children and cats so they leave here curious, respectful, and ready to learn. We care about structure, soundness, and the classic GSD look, aiming for dogs that are steady, people-oriented, and versatile.
We’re rooted in Northeast Oklahoma, but we’ve placed puppies nationwide and regularly work with families in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Texas. Clear communication and simple, straightforward processes keep everything calm from first inquiry to go-home day. Every puppy comes with a 1-year health guarantee and an 18-month hip dysplasia guarantee.
If you’re looking for an AKC German Shepherd raised in a loving home—with real-world socialization and a true family touch—we’d love to help you meet your next best friend.
