Great advice -- I need to remember to add that caution! Picking the breeder needs to be the most extensive part of the search. Picking the puppy is easy in comparison. We do have some BYB's here.
OP -- feel free to post and ask about any breeder you are considering. Chances are there will be someone who knows something about them. Even in my small town, I found another YT member had a sibling to my pup, Ben. So we both had shared experiences with the same breeder and knew a couple others in the area too. Getting first had info is important, going and seeing their set up is even more important. So many talk a good talk, even have fancy websites, then you find out they are running a small MILL! Best to see it first hand.
