I'm Sophia M., the breeder behind Haus of Hound located in Brookfield, WI. We raise each Doberman puppy with love, structure, and thoughtful care. Our in-home program emphasizes early socialization and sound temperaments—building strong foundations for confident, family-ready companions and offering lifelong support.
Q. & A. with Sophia
Why did you start breeding?
After years of admiring the Doberman’s intelligence and loyalty, I welcomed my first as both a companion and protector. The bond we built inspired me to learn everything I could about health, temperament, and breeding. I started this program to share the joy of a well-bred Doberman with families who value both heart and purpose.
What makes your program special?
What makes my program special is the intentional balance of structure, affection, and purpose. Puppies are raised in my home with early socialization, exposure to family life, and a foundation in confidence-building—creating Dobermans who are loyal, loving companions and capable natural protectors.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and rust, blue and rust, and red and rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Brandy is officially off to her forever home! ❤️
Our stunning red and rust girl has always stood out - from her calm, peaceful nature to her photogenic charm (seriously, the camera loves her). She’s been a favorite of her Auntie Tori from the start and the kind of pup who could do it all: nap solo, tumble with her siblings, or melt into the arms of any human willing to cuddle her.
Brandy is heading home to her new parents, Davina and her partner, and will have a new furry best friend, a border collie, to grow up with! We know she’s going to be the perfect fit for their family. She’s such a special girl, and we can’t wait to see her thrive in her new adventure. 🐾

He’s joining his amazing new parents, Sara and Robert Wilson, in Minnesota and he’ll have a wonderful big sister pup to show him the ropes as he grows up! Shadow has been such a special part of this litter, our only boy and a favorite playmate among his sisters.
A huge thank you to the Wilsons for giving him such a great home 🥳 I know he’s in the very best hands! We can’t wait to see all the love and fun that’s ahead for this sweet boy. 🐾

Sweet Ruth is off to her forever home! 💖 She’s joining a wonderful family with four big brothers, one of whom is getting her as a birthday surprise! 🥹 They’ve been watching Doberman training videos for weeks without knowing their very own pup was on the way 😆 I’m so excited she’s staying close by in Wauwatosa, WI! Ruth is such a special girl, and I can’t wait to see all the love and adventures ahead for her and her new family.
