I spent a lot of time catching up with errors on this drawing but at least I did not failed the dog :’)

Dear Doberman Owners
I am eventually getting two doberman puppies (from reputable breeders) and I know that the first five months are a bit of a nightmare with hopefully great payoff. However, I haven't seen many people who had raised two puppies at the same time before, just with two or four years apart. That is fine, but that is not what I'm doing. Any tips or advice? Thank you!
Dear Doberman Owners
I have done nearly a year and a half of research and am fairly confident I can raise one to two dobermans from puppyhood to adulthood safely. I have raised and trained seven dogs (granted they are mostly outdoor free reign dogs with no incredibly advanced training, like tricks, aside from two) and have seen many temperaments that need different approaches. I am doing more research in advanced training and I hope that I can teach them all successfully. However, my biggest issue has always been socialization. I barely socialize myself due to horrible and occasionally near crippling anxiety, general fear, and paranoia. None of the dogs have/had any human aggression. However, my male mix breed and a female lab mix (that I think is part Doberman or Greyhound), has some dog aggression that I am curbing slowly. But as this/these Dobermans are going to be my near constant companions, I want to try and prevent any dog/human/animal aggression. I live far away from civilization and what civilization I have nearby generally isn't friendly or trustworthy. I don't know what to do or how to plan for this. Any ideas? That would be very much appreciated, thank you!
EDIT:
With more thinking, I may only adopt one puppy at the moment (at least until the first is two years old). Unfortunately the socialization issue stays the same.
Dear Doberman Owners
I know that every breed has their health concerns, some more than others. But it seems everywhere I look, Doberman owners tell stories of how their dog dropped dead at eight or sometimes within the first three years gained horrible health issues. I know Dobermans suffer from intense health concerns caused by inbreeding and that the gene pool has gotten too small, but I want to know how common death at eight or earlier happens. I can't go through more grief so early.
My oldest dog died at twelve/thirteen which is impressive considering her later years had given her arthritis, some back issues, weight issues, and she always had intense allergies, and some breathing problems before cancer took her away within barely two days. But my lab mix is suffering from joint and back issues at eight(?), my 4-5 husky mix is having hip issues way too early, and I know these are partially due to my lab mix having gotten several injuries in the past and my husky mix having been separated too soon from her mother and siblings by a naive woman who had never wanted puppies or deal with them in the first place. We had a Chesapeake Bay mix who found us at a senior age and then disappeared nearly six years later with our Jack Russel mix, and she seemed healthy but we don't know if stress aged her too soon.
I just want a healthy puppy who can last near his/her senior years so I don't live the rest of my life thinking I could've done more for them or simply let them be cared for by someone who could've done better. Especially not so soon after my beloved golden girl had passed (she was a Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix, dumber than a box of bricks and a coward, but the sweetest thing I ever knew aside from our retriever/pittie mix).
I know that getting a puppy from a reputable breeder who does genetic and blood testing is best, but I'm not sure if I can handle this again. I had always loved guard dogs, aside from Poodles, but the Doberman fits my lifestyle and mild allergy needs (for an inside dog) the best. I'm sorry for the long post that is mostly rambling and grief spilling, I'm just worried and had a really rough day filled with "memory lane" that I can't handle.
Dear Doberman and Rottweiler Owners
I have a question regarding a mix of both Dobermans and Rottweilers. Rotterman, Rottiedobie, Doberweiler, etc. I have seen the pictures and gotten those little videos that basically just combines the personality and physical traits of both parents in various shades of siri voice. But I haven't found very many places that tell real information. Do they have increased behavioral issues, is their health issues still prevalent or lessened, does DCM kill most of the dogs, etc. My first dog was a Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix who mostly took after a Golden Retriever physically in her youth/prime until basically becoming a dark gold shorter version of a Pyrenees with the thought process of a Pyrenees but the slight cowardice of the Retriever. She drooled, thought she was a lap dog, had the Pyrenees bark, and shed so much we have bird nests nearby that is still lined to the brim with her fur. She had some breathing and back problems from her disproportionate size for her organs (granted she suffered from some obesity in her last 2-3 years). I want to know details that I cannot seem to find. You would think these dogs would be more popular.
Thank you for your help!
