Daisy is as hyper as all get-out (rotti-pit cross). Sometimes she gets so wound up, she just runs circles when we let her out in the backyard (the run of happiness, as it has become known. Not to be confused with the run of stupid, which is just back and forth down the hall at top speed). And she's 3. But when she's around the kids, she's extremely gentle. And when she is all wired and we need her to calm, we just say, "Chill!", and she usually calms down (sometimes we have to do it twice). I don't know how relevant this is with the breed you're looking at, but just an anecdote about a hyper dog who has adapted very well in our home. Of course, the kids only visit every couple of months. We'll see when our own Schwinn Jr arrives! (I guess that'd make him a trike!)
