If i were you i’d have a look at breed profiles of both labradors and australian shepherds and see the good and bad points to both breeds.
You can then see which is best suited to you.
You may find that one of the breeds won’t work with your lifestyle.
I originally wanted a beagle but after researching them found they wouldn’t be suitable for where i live, even though certain breeds appeal to us it doesn’t always work out.
Unfortunately if both breeds work for you i can’t help.
I hope i’ve helped and i’m sorry if i haven’t.

Good Luck.

yeah – you did help. And I think we will get an australian shepherd boy next year. I’m still finding more information about the breeders and the needs of his exercising because we live in the apartment.

Anyway - Thank you for your advice. (”,)
