Default getting a 2nd dog?

hi everyone!

so i've had my yorkie for about a year and 8 months now. and we're seriously considering getting another dog! (a chihuahua)

i do want my second dog to be a bit more calm / more of a lap dog, and i've spoken and met with this breeder and can see that her dogs are a bit more that way.

my yorkie is quite hyper, and if it were up to him he would play ALL. day. long. he's really sweet and just loves everyone and everything!

i'm wondering - can you have 2 dogs with separate energy levels, or will the new one change to match the current one? i also worry a bit that my yorkie would be relentless in trying to play all day. perhaps i should try it out by babysitting a friend's dog for a few days...? or anyone have experience with having a hyper dog and adding a calm dog to the family?

thanks!
