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.
Shelters often have Bichon Frise dogs, as well as Humane Societies. There are specific Bichon Frise rescue organizations including: Bichon Frise Rescue Ranch and Bichon Frise Rescue me.
