Which Lives Longer, Bichon or Poodle? Actually, Not Much Difference
Dogs are very cute animals. Most people like dogs because they are very loyal and also very intelligent. I also like them very much.
The Bichon and Poodle breeds are very small in size, classified as small dogs. They are also very cute and adorable, and I believe most girls can’t resist them.
With the improvement of living standards, human lifespans have gradually increased, and the same goes for dogs. As long as they are well cared for, dogs can live long lives. Although the longest-lived dog reached 34 years, the lifespans of Bichons and Poodles do not differ much. According to Baidu, the normal lifespan of a Bichon is 12-15 years, while that of a Poodle is 13-15 years. From this, the lifespans of these two breeds are actually quite similar.
If you really must say which of these two breeds lives longer, it’s hard to say. According to Baidu, of course, the Poodle has a slightly longer lifespan. But this depends specifically on their environment and living conditions. I think for dog owners, the most important thing is not to judge a dog’s lifespan based solely on what the internet says. The key for dog owners is to take good care of their dogs, try to keep them healthy, and thereby extend their lifespan so we can have more time with them.
The age stages of dogs are actually similar to those of humans; one dog year is equivalent to seven human years. Here I will explain the age stages of the two dog breeds separately. For Bichons, 0-2 years old is the puppy stage; 2-5 years old is when the Bichon is strongest; after 7 years old, they begin to weaken gradually and enter old age; by 10 years old, the Bichon’s various functions are very old, and it may not live much longer at this point.
Poodles become adults at 1-2 years old, and at 7-8 years old, they are already entering their senior years. At this time, the Poodle’s body gradually ages and shows obvious signs.
I have finished talking about the lifespans of these two breeds, and you should now understand at what age each breed is at which stage. Well, that’s all I will introduce.
