Can be free?

Or maybe...if from good pedigree....RM3 - 10k?

Yes unfortunately. Unless you want to get a normal non-pedigree breed dog. Then it is free as you can just adopt any dog.

Yes, it is better in a sense the coat is shorter and will require less grooming later.

I will say a labrador is more suitable for our tropical country.
