Besides amount of puppies delivered, another major reason is the cost of raising up the maltese mommy as well as how keen are you to produce a good quality maltese.
Some breeders will provide their maltese with the best quality food, provide them freedom, spend lots of time & effort to love their maltese; Many will minimise cost, provide white rice with little meat, cage their dogs all day long, chuck the maltese aside and only concern is breed breed & breed.
If a breeder is striving for quality, a show quality stud dog will require above 1k for stud service. Imagine that particular breeder raise up a maltese for 2 years, paid 1.5k for stud service, after risking the maltese mommy life, (which deem as the breeder's kid's life) & finally produces 1 or 2 pups. If you are that breeder, will you say RM2k is sufficient?
BUT, of corse, there are many breeders out there, juz simply take any available male mate with any available female, the bigger the better as people wants cheap puppies, so they can produce a lot and sell cheaper, yet, still earn a lot since their cost is minimal.
Ends up, it depends on the buyer which to choose. We can see certain buyer here always look for a good one, criticise others' puppies why so big why so ugly, yet demands a cheap one BUT must be small, must be good quality, must be healthy. Nothing good comes cheaply, but of corse it doesnt mean expensive stuffs means good, judge yourself
