They can live over 16 years
(Coton de Tulears) They are French dogs that look like bishons. They can be up to 12 pounds. i have a Coton and they are just the most wonderful little dogs in the world, in my opinion. mine is a year old and she is just adorable. They are also very playful.I am a COE breeder of Cotons - They are from Madagascar, Matter of fact, they are the royal dog of Madagascar. France owned Madagascar and so they spoke french in Madagascar, Thus the dog was named Coton de Tulear, translated to Cotton, due to the texture of their hair (yes hair, not fur). of Tulear, which was the port city of Madagascar. They are more closely related to the Coton de Reunion. The look much like an Havanesse, and some would the look like a Maltese.
That is a good question! No really I was told the only way you can tell the difference is to do a blood test. On the serious side, Havanese retain their color all of their life, where Coton's generally lose their color over time or the color will fade. I do have a Black and White Coton that still has her color at a year old. My tri-color's color has faded a lot, but retains the biscuit color, with black hair on the ears which is typical for the Coton de Tulear. Obviously the White Cotons remain white all of their life, this should go without saying.
I have a 3 year old Coton De Tulear. She has so far been pretty good. I have only had her a few days and she is a little timid around my grandchildren but in no way at all threatens to bite them or even growl at them (and they are pretty active children). So, I would say, yes, they would be good around children.
On average, about 12 years old.
It is never to old to neuter a dog, and the longer you wait less time your dog has to live.

Cotton is an English word possibly derived the Old French "coton".
It depends on the breed of dog. Depending on the breed of dog they can live from 7-25 years old. Great Danes live to be from 7-9 and Chiwahaus live to be from 15-25.
