That answer is going to depend more on the individual dog's temperament and socialization- reaching out to breeders in your area is a good idea to see what early socialization they do, if the litters are raised with other animals/dogs, etc. Any puppy, if socialized well enough, should be OK to get along with your current pets. Most active working guardian dogs also spend most of their time with the flock than with other dogs (unless they are also guarding), but the key is to lots and lots of socialization early on so that your guard dog recognizes your pets as "friend".
