Answer
Lhasas and Labs are two very different breeds of dogs.  Lhasas are small dogs that do not require much exercise but need a lot of grooming whereas Labs are large dogs that require a LOT of exercise but not much grooming.  It really depends on your lifestyle and where you live.  If you live in an apartment and do not have a yard for the dog to run, then a Lhasa is best.  If you have a lot of land to allow the dog to run, then a Lab would be ok.  Lhasas tend to be more lap dogs whereas Labs are high energy.  I would suggest that you do an internet search to find out more about each breed to see which best suits you.
