Start a Conversation.
Whether you are considering a Harbinger puppy, researching the breed, or already part of the Harbinger family, we want you to have a clear place to begin.
The right conversation starts with the right question.
Harbinger is intentionally a small preservation breeding program. Our goal is not simply to place puppies. It is to understand families, thoughtfully match dogs to homes, and remain a resource throughout the dog’s life.

Give us a little context so we can point you toward the most useful information rather than sending a generic response.
Puppy inquiries: This contact form does not replace the Puppy Application. If your primary goal is obtaining a Harbinger puppy, please complete the application.
Existing Harbinger families: We encourage you to reach out whenever you need support. Breeder responsibility does not end at pickup.
Based in Oneonta, Alabama.
Harbinger Miniature Schnauzers is located in North-Central Alabama near Birmingham. Families come to us from throughout Alabama and across the Southeast.
Our dogs live as part of our home and breeding program rather than operating from a public retail kennel. For that reason, visits are scheduled rather than open to walk-in traffic.
For families traveling by air, Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is generally the most convenient major airport.
Personal communication sometimes takes a little longer.
Harbinger is a hands-on breeding program. Puppies, adult dogs, training, grooming, health care, showing, and family support come before the inbox. We read every genuine inquiry and respond as soon as our responsibilities to the dogs allow.
The relationship should begin before the puppy ever comes home.
Learn how Harbinger approaches health, development, placement, and lifelong breeder responsibility before deciding whether our program is the right fit for your family.
