It sounds to me like you want a cheap dog, and thats understandable, but it won't happen if you want a healthy dog.
Breeders invest a lot of money to make the breed better so you will have a healthy dog. Read up on it and you will understand.
So I would check the shelter, pound, petfinder.com and craigslist.org. Save a dogs life. It feels good! You can also check out adoption events in your area.

I have 2 malteses that we rescued, they are now 5 years old. We got ours from petfinder.com. But as previously states no dog is cheap unless they aren't healthy. However, you will get a much cheaper dog from a rescue instead of a breader, but there is no garuntee that this dog will be a puppy. All dogs need homes, not just the puppies. Keep in mind that a dog is a huge commitment and malteses can live up to 18 years. Also, make sure that you have enough time and money to care for a maltese. They can be high matience and need to constantly be around people.

You get what you pay for, you want cheap price you get crappy dog..
Check the shelters and adopt a dog, BUT only if you can afford to feed and care for one properly.
