I very much looked into Biewers as a 2nd dog for a while, but I personally have fallen in love with a bit of a more 'hardy' dog and like Border Terriers, Silky's, Westie's, etc. But after I met that Biewer at the dog park the other day, I fell in love again. He really was fearless and just a great little guy.
I think it's important to look for the kind of dog you really want, and I am sure you will find it in a Yorkie or a Biewer.
Usually a good breeder will match you up with a puppy and your personality and what you prefer. If you want a lap dog, they would pair you up with the more mellow pup, but if you want a more active pup, give you the one that is constantly looking for something to do, etc. Like I think I would go nuts with a dog who wanted to be picked up all the time or sit on my lap all day but lots LOVE it!! So it's all about what you as an individual really want in a dog.
I would shop for your breeder first, THEN the dog. If you can put your trust in a breeder to pick out the right pup for you, that is key.
Also, I always love watching videos of certain breeds so you can get more of a 'feel' for them through watching them and how they interact etc.
Here is my youtube channel full of Jackson videos -
Lights! Camera! Jackson! - YouTube .. you can see him doing a bit of agility stuff, swimming, playing, tricks, training, etc.
Some of my other fav YT yorkies are alaskayorkie's dogs, Eddie and Jillie.

Also, coolest tiny Yorkie EVER, Lilo, who unfortunately passed away... God she was such a sweetheart (just thru watching her on video, I got to 'know' her), tiniest little thing and so smart, and full of spunk:
