Is it safe to introduce a MALE bernese mountain pup into a home with an 11 year old

FEMALE dog? We`re gonna be getting a male berner next month (when he is 8 weeks). We`ll get him spayed @ 5-6 months.

Sammy, our female dog, is 11, and has arthritis (and she`s spayed).

We also have 2 cats.

The male pup won`t jump on Sammy because she is a girl, will she?? Will it sense that Sam is elderly and fixed? My parents say it`ll be fine. I`m just wondering :) lol.

Thanks. Personal stories are welcome!
