Welcome! I don't own a large dog, but my aunt does (80lb border collie).
Great advice has been given on how to prepare the large dog, but also don't forget to work on manners with your little guy.
Harley used to get a long great with dogs of all sizes, but Blackie (above mentioned BC) isn't well socialized, and Harley would walk up to him and bark at him and scare the crap out of Blackie. We thought it was funny as a pup, and I let him do it to help Blackie's socialization. But now he's started this thing with barking at big dogs, and it's become both annoying and dangerous. So just make sure you monitor both dogs equally.
It sounds like you did your research and found a good breeder, can't wait to see pics when your baby comes home.
