No one is disputing that you love your dog or that she is a good dog. I'm also sure that the breeder is great when selling her overpriced puppies....... I wonder how great she would be if you no longer wanted the dog.
The fact remains that she is NOT a reputable breeder. She does nothing with her dogs other than breed them for money. Then she charges about the same as a reputable breeder who put championships on all of their dogs, search carefully for the very best stud .......... not the one in their own back yard............ and do all the health testing. They are there for the life of the dog and will take one back for any reason at any age. They are not out there breeding to make money........... and indeed often do not see a profit at all.
What she does have is a slick website that looks pretty darn good. I'd really like to see more reputable breeders do websites - just to at least give people something to compare to. Her dogs look like a decent quality Doberman - but there are no stacked shots with which to see if they come anywhere close to the breed standard..... I'm sure that is deliberate because she knows they would not compare favorably with reputable breeders out there who charge the same price.
