The breed doesn’t determine if dogs will get along, it solely determines on their individual personalities. Exact same as humans from different nationalities or backgrounds. Sometimes you are great roommates and sometimes it doesn’t work out. I would recommend giving them a trial period together for a couple weeks to see how it might work out.
