Dobermans were originally breed from German Pinschers, Rottweilers, Beauceron, Pinschers, Greyhounds, English Greayhounds
The origin of the Doberman Pincher isn't completely traceable. It is thought that dobermans are bread from German Pinchers (very smart breed), German Herd Dogs, Great Danes, and Rottweilers. Of course without knowing for sure, there can be all kinds of combinations. I have 2 dobermans now, and have had 2 others (separate times) in the past. Through my personal research, I find these breeds to be most consistently mentioned in literature about dobermans. - also the breed has changed since it's arrival to America after WWII.

Will my 5 year old German shepherd adjust with a new pup?

In general German Shepherds are a one owner type of dog. However, if your German Shepherd gets along well with other dogs and appears docile then put your German Shepherd on a leash and let the new pup have the freedom, but be sure to keep the pup away from your dog. Watch the reactions from your German Shepherd. You could try this with a friends dog coming into your home to see how your dog reacts before purchasing another dog. "Never' pay all of your attention to the pup no matter how cute they are. Always go to your German Shepherd first. It's a pecking order. German Shepherd or any other breeds, there are individual personalities amongst dogs and some can be very patient with a pup, while others can be jealous and some even aggressive and harm the pup.

The full adult size of your GSD will depend in large part on the genetic background of its parents. Adult males should range between 24-26" at the shoulder blade, females from 22-24". Males within the standard may weigh anywhere from 65-90 lbs. depending on their bloodlines. Females may weigh anywhere from 50-75 lbs. Although your pup will reach close to adult height by 10-18 months, he will continue to fill out until up to 3 years old.
