Puppymatch.org Okay I'm in the market for a small female Maltese to join my two yorkies. I was having a very hard time trying to find reasonable prices with the Maltese( yorkies seems to sale for a little less). I ran across this web site puppymatch.org she's a private breeder. And she has this little girl available for $500.00:eek: :eek: :eek: The little girl is so cute, but the first question out of my mouth to the breeder was "Why charge so less, when everyone else is charging about 2k+?" I asked for references, she putting it in the mail tomorrow. What do you guys think?? Here's the actual email Yes KARI is still available. she can be held until she is 8 weeks old the deposit will go toward the purchase price. I ship most pups at 8 weeks old. I can get you some references. I will mail them to you this afternoon. Thanks, Deborah $500 for the puppy and $250 for shipping if needed |

She's adorable. Get the health check on her, and if she's healthy and has no behavior issues, then this is a steal! |
She just sent me a list of three references that have bought from her in the past 2 months. What should I ask them? I want to get her so bad, I hope everything doesn't turn out to good to be true. |
pup Too many different breeds in one kennel to suit me..if a breeder is only charging $500 for a popular breed as a Maltese, then they have to make it up in volume... PS..talk to her vet and make sure itis really her vet...and as to contacting people who bought..do you think a breed is going to give the number any unhappy buyers..? You can sell 50 pups..you can have 10 happy buyers and 40 unhappy buyers.. |
This was the other email she sent me, I'm emailing her references now yes , she should be 4 to 5 lbs but the pups adult weight can be unpredictable too can also get fat. . In the area that I live in puppies are priced cheaper. The prices I ask online are reasonable to me. I price pups so that they can be sold easily instead of holding them until they are grown. My puppies are CKC registered. The price you paid for Yorkies sound about like what they go for on the internet. I have one for $900 myself but i do not really care if I sell her or not because I have become so attrched to her . I am in the process of looking up the e-mails of the last pups I shipped I will send them in a few. |
area Where is this breeder located? |
Alabama |
pup Too far to go check...ask to talk to her vet... |
I sent her email asking for the vet information,so we shall see if she's a genuine good person who really isn't out to make $$$ or if she's trying to sell me a sick pup. Here is the email I sent to her references (how do you think it sounds) I'm looking into purchasing a female Maltese from Deborah. She gave me your name as a reference, I was wondering if you could give me a little feed back on her pups & doing business with her. Was your pup healthy? Has your puppy remained within the size & measure anticipated by Deborah? Does he/she have nay medical existing medical problem? How was their temperament when he/she arrived? Were your emails answered in a timely fashion from Deborah? Can you contact her today with any problem (house training, feeding, etc) and will she still lend a helping hand? And last would you recommend her to a future buyer? |
Awww, she is a cutie!!! I really hope things work out for you. I am getting two female maltese the end of this month and they cost $500 each as well. If the pup is CKC registered then that could explain the price, CKC sells less than a puppy that is AKC registered. Or like she said that is the normal price. Here maltese start at $400 and go up. Good luck with whatever you decide!!! |
Also get the Bile Acid test done too. I have heard that Liver Shunts is more common in the Maltese than Yorkies. Also you are aware of how much grooming goes into a Maltese? A lot more than yorkies - Maltese always get dirty - so fast and they tear stain and is a job to get rid of or prevent. They are cute though. I had one from Glynnette Case - breeder of Malteses. Also Joyce Watkins of Marcris breeds/shows Malteses. They are both in Florida. I would highly recommend them. Good Luck. T. |
In Texas you can get Maltese anywhere from $500 and up I wouldn't be scared off because of the price. But, I definitely check with the references and her Vet. If they all turn out good, then I think it should be fine. By the way, the puppy is Beautiful!:thumbup: |
Looks good to me. Some breeders do charge less, my mother sold her siamese kittens for $50 every now and then just to find them homes fast. The lady looks like she knows what she's doing and $500 seems like a fair enough price, but not so cheap that you'd really have to worry. |
