Reputable breeders typically charge between $2,000 and $4,000 for a Maltese puppy in Montana. Factors like gender and quality influence the cost, with females and show-quality Malteses often priced higher due to demand.
Male Maltese dogs usually stand 8-10 inches at the shoulder, while females are 8-9 inches tall. By six to eight months old, they weigh no more than seven pounds.
Maltese dogs don’t need much exercise. A daily walk of around 30 minutes suffices, along with unstructured playtime using mentally stimulating toys. Their small size and moderate exercise needs make them ideal for apartments or urban living.
The average Maltese lifespan is approximately 12.25 years, although many live longer. Their small size contributes to this longer life, as they don’t experience the risks associated with larger breeds.
