Never ever heard of this breed before! Though it looks quite similar to dogs around us, it's different.
The prices 2.5k and more in USA is astonishing.
What would you pay for a GSD there?

When it comes to GSDs, the situation is really complicated. It depends on your interests. You can get a nice, purebred GSD as a pet for a few hundred dollars, I think. Show quality dogs will be much more expensive.
Then, there are "working dogs." I used to be involved with Schutzhund training. A lot of my friends lived GSDs for Schutzhund, but would never get a US dog. Apparently the best GSDs were bred in Eastern Europe. They were supposedly genetically more sound, and physically built for stamina and speed. I remember one GSD in particular who cost 10k USD.

We get a nice genetically sound GSD for not more than 300 dollars here. Yes, you're right the best ones were bred in Eastern Europe, no doubt about it.
I came to know from a friend that GSDs are relatively cheaper than Indian dog breeds in USA. I didn't believe him and then he showed me some proofs, I was like WT*!!! Do we have such dogs, which costs more than GSD, then I researched and found two specific breeds which are liked there. Indian spitz and Gaddi are among them.

The Gaddi is similar to the breed you posted yesterday and spitz is a long hair sweet little dog.
