Oh, yikes. I'm not ready :/. Ugh. I'm afraid I'll get one who is a lump when I just want one who'll play with me, or I'll get one who's so hyper I can't handle her. And who barks so much, my neighbors will hate me. But anyway, I really appreciate all of you! Maybe I should just get a stuffed dog and drag it around like a pet rock

And this is why connecting with a very good breeder is the way to go. For this particular concern, there will be communications back and forth between you and the breeder. In an application or thru those communications the breeder and you will discuss your lifestyle, active? couch potato?, and what activities you would like to share with the pup. A quality breeder isn't just a "pays yer money and take yer chances" person.
Breeding is not a business for them, it's a calling.
They are with those pups day in, day out, from before birth til the day they go to their new families and will be looking for the energy and temperament needed for that level of activity. They may outright select your pup for you (with the right of declining most likely for the next litter) but more likely will have a couple for you to choose from that they think will thrive with that activity level. Temperament testing is usually officially done at 7weeks but they'll have a very good idea a few weeks before then.
Another reason to select a breeder before you're ready for your pup is that many folks don't realize that there's far fewer of the quality breeders to choose from than they'd think.
What follows is not as off topic as it might seem.
There really isn't a way to count exactly how many as there's no governmental regulatory body to be accountable to unless they are a higher volume breeder. Being state or USDA licensed isn't a selling point, fyi.
As an educated guess, I'd be surprised if the number of quality, conscientious breeders exceeds 500-1000 thru the US and Canada. Those breeders may be having 1-3 litters per year with average litter size of 1-3 for toys, 3-4 for miniatures, and 6-7 for standards. Averaging out, let's say 1000 breeders, 2 litters a year, 7 pups per litter. I think that's 14,000 quality purebred puppies a year.
That's nowhere near the "As of January 2020, there were
2,422 USDA licensed dog breeders", and doesn't include those operating under the radar either by being a smaller operation or home business. The Humane Society of the United States gives some staggering numbers which are hard to pin down.
If you estimate an average of 10 breeding dogs per licensee, back to back litters in many cases, until used up, that's a lot of dogs. My estimation is quite low per the USDA site:
"In fiscal year (FY) 2019, AC conducted over 9,000 inspections assessing the health, care, and treatment of more than 1 million animals..."
So, plenty of puppies and breeders. The question is what kind of breeder do you want to get a puppy from and see them continue breeding?
Almost forgot. This is another reason that you might need to expand your search territory.
