That is hard to predict and the best thing is to observe the dog now to evaluate her personality. If she shows any signs of aggression or dominance than it may be a problem. If you don't notice any concerning behavior now than aggression may never be an issue, especially if the dog is properly socialized. If they decide to get the dog than enrolling her in obedience class would be a good idea to make sure she is properly socialized and obedient.
