We live in McKinney, TX (north of Dallas) and have a bichon that will be 18 - 12-15-09. He is in good health......loss of some hearing and some seeing.
He looks and acts like a young dog.
I would love to know of other Bichons near his age.

The oldest living Bichon in 2014 was 20 years old. The average is 12 - 15 years, but the oldest living Bichon Frise (according to records of the Kennel Club) was 21 when he died. I was happy to hear about this as I own a Bichon Frise which I thought was mixed with another breed, but was recently told by a person (breeder) when I was out walking my dogs that she was full Bichon Frise. When I did the research that person was right. It was wonderful to hear that they are a long living breed. It's difficult at best to have to part with a loyal friend.
