You seem to contradict yourself.....first you say that "just because you don't pay an arm and leg doesn't mean its a bad breeder", but then you say "I do realize there are some who don't charge much like the
backyard breeder i got with my pup".
Then you say: "No shots no papers", but later state that "But she is a pure bred"....with no absolute proof that she is a purebred, how can you be sure?
Also: you said "she keeps records and everything" and then "Even gives a health check up an all shots", you later contradict yourself by saying "No shots no papers".
You also say that "She gets more for her pups a lot determines what color and size they are". This seems to me that she charges more for different colors, and she charges more for the smaller puppies, which just doesn't seem right.
And the statement that worries me the most is "
"But they breed the mom and dad I think every time she comes around" This doesn't seem like just a BYB, this sounds like a puppy mill--and puppy mill puppies are poor representations of the breed and are more likely to have mixes in them.
I'm also confused as to why you think that someone who breeds their females every heat cycle, someone who freely advertises "rare" and "special" pups, someone who doesn't even give their pups shots, someone who is in it for the money, someone who "even gives a health checkup" although they feel it's "unnecessary", is a good breeder.
$300 is NOT a good price from a BYB/highly potential puppy mill. You can potentially pay THOUSANDS of dollars out-of-pocket to pay for your pup's possible health issues and surgeries in the future.
