Maltese prices fluctuate based on many factors including where you live or how far you are willing to travel. You should never buy a puppy based solely on price. Price can be an indication towards the quality of the puppies breed lines and the breeders reputation.
The current median price of Malteses in Iowa is $1,175.00. This is the price you can expect to pay for the Maltese breed without breeding rights. If you require a pup with breeding rights or for show quality with a top pedigree then expect to pay from $1,800 upwards to $2,500 or even more. The average cost for all Malteses sold in the Iowa area is $700.
Please note, we display both the average price and the median price as the average price could be skewed based on a few outliers. The average can be impacted by a few very expensive puppies listed or sold or even a few cheap puppies often advertised or priced to display the deposit-only price.
We do not allow Iowa breeders, adoption centers, rescues or shelters to list Malteses for free in Iowa. Beware of scams: If you find a breeder in Iowa or an online advertisement on Craigslist advertising a litter of “puppies for free” or to a “good home for free” then run, do not walk away.
