I had 2 labs and 2 Persians, they pretty much ignored each other. Now I have 2 Aussies and 2 Maine Coons. They will all lay in a pile and nap but if one of the cats gets startled and runs, the dogs chase. If a dog gets too close and the cat is moody (as they often are) then a nose will get swatted. My oldest Aussie has an ear licking fetish and will hold the cats down and lick their ears until their whole heads are wet.
What you are asking is impossible to answer. Every dog is different and every cat is different. You may or may NOT get a perfect match the first time. HEAVY supervision on the intro and very firm re-enforcement on the dog's reaction should tell him what is expected. If you are nervous, the dog will be nervous and probably act out. 99% of the time, a well socialized dog will readily adopt a cat. 100% of the time, the cat will be a d!ck... but eventually relent to being social.
