It depends on how they get on together? have they been with her before? How terrirotial are your dogs? I certainly wouldnt let them play unsupervised. If you are worried then personally i would keep them seperate. Best to be safe if you are unsure how they will get on.

you need to observe them with someone with you in case anything happens so there is help. next if you know any red flags when you put them together they and you need to be calm and assertive. perhaps take them on a long walk to get to know one another. far enough away from each other that they cant hurt each other. then after a walk put them together and watch for any dogs putting their tails straight up, lip curls, growls or other agressive signs and if anything happens have a can filled with rocks ( to shake) or a water hose. dogs can focus on what you want them to after physical exercize. Cezar Millan says "Exercize, Disiplin, Affection" In that order.
Yep try it out
