I don't know very much about Poms, but there are teenaged Papillons in agility. Many small dogs (without the shortened noses) live a long time. Poms and Paps both have a very long life expectancy. Anywhere from 10-15 years, when fed the correct food and taken proper care of. Our Paperanian went grey really early - at 5 or 6 years old. He is almost all grey now and looks like a totally different dog than when he was younger. He is a hearty 16 now, survived a coyote attack and a roll over car accident. He has never had any health issues and even in his old age still acts like a puppy. thio |
