Answer 1

Here are some statements on the web about the life expectancy for Bichon Frise dogs:

From DogBreedInfo.com:
"About 15 or more years"
http://dogbreedinfo.com/bichonfrise.htm

From QualityDogs.com:
"Life Expectancy 14 - 16 yrs"
http://www.qualitydogs.com/Bichon_Frise/information.html

From ThePetProfessor.com:
"Life Expectancy 12 years"
http://www.thepetprofessor.com/breed_profiles/dogs/bichon_frise.aspx

From PetPlace.com:
"Of course, no one can really predict how long an individual dog will live. There's always the possibility of unpredictable illness or accident. Or, a genetic predisposition to disease may lurk in your dog's genes. But generally speaking, the larger the breed, the faster it ages."
