Your $300 is mostly for anesthesia, it is expensive to knock a dog out. If you use that route, get his teeth cleaned, and do everything you can think of, cut his nails while he is easy to handle, I did. Without anesthesia, there is the risk of the dog moving and giving bad pictures. Also with anesthesia, you will have a shed to beat all, so if keep coat is really important, you want to go without, and hope you don't have to retake too much. Either way, you need good clean pictures. Most of the people I know wait until there is a break in the shows and they can afford the coat loss.
