Female Bengal and established dog

[Nom de ploom]

We have a rottie cross, very good natured, inquisitive, bit daft about 4-5 years old - he was a rescue so entire origins unknown but we've never had any trouble with him behaviour wise.

i've wanted a cat for a long time but due to mess and the dog been put off. I have been offered by a family friend a female two year old bengal but wondered if it was a complete non-starter and not fair on the dog or aside from a few introductory issues whether they will get on after that?

hard to know until you try I guess but I don't want to stress either animal out as it is the dogs home first he will take priority.

any one have any experience of similar and any specific advice?

thanks in advance

thanks - I've looked on other forums and there doesn't seem to be too much out there on this particular topic that I've found.

There is a lot on whether to let them out or and as our dog loves to be outside on the back lawn i'd worry the cat will be affected by not being able to be outside....

it is a worry
