Frequently Asked Questions
Q : What is the price of your puppies and what is the process to purchase ?
A : Our pups are $2500 Ltd. AKC registration male or female. We request that you fill out our "call back questionnaire" section found on this website. We use this list to reach out to puppy parents when your Bichon becomes available to you. When females become pregnant we will review this list and reach out to parents. You can pay upfront, make payments or pay Final amount by Cash only.
Q : What size crate do you use ?
A : Our adult dogs use a 36" crate that we purchase from Chewy.com. Our puppies start training in a 24" crate. We recommend you purchase the adult 36" crate and overstuff with blanket or bed to make it comfy until he/she grows into it !
Q : How can I fly in to pick up my puppy ?
A : We live just minutes from ILM airport (Wilmington International) Delta Airlines and American Airlines both fly pups out of this airport. Click the links to get ALL the information !
NOTE: as of 1/2/2019 we have learned that, American flys as young as 8 wks old, with flight health certification, Delta flys no younger then 10 wk olds with flight health certification. Spirit flys as young as 8 wk olds, no certification required.
Q : Do you ship your puppies ?
A : We are sorry but we do not ship our puppies in an airline cargo hold by themselves. The safety and well being of our pups is of the utmost importance to us. If the distance is to far to drive, and you can not fly with your new pup in the passenger cabin, we recommend a fly nanny or a ground courier service. Our transportation page is Transportation & Flight Nanny | capefearbichons.

Q : CAN I SEE THE PARENTS IF I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT ?
A : Yes, both parents may be onsite and may be available for you to see. If you are flying in, we can pick you up at the airport (ilm) and bring you to our home. We would be happy to shuttle you !
Q : WHAT DO YOU FEED YOUR DOGS AND PUPPIES
A : After much research and many hours of reading we have decided to obtain our food for puppies and adults from our local Ross-Wells complete raw food co-op. Living in the Wilmington NC area our closest co-op is in Newport NC, a little bit of a drive but well worth it for this awesome product. Other products are available but we like the simplicity of the titan blends complete right down to vitamins , minerals, bone meal, etc..
Here is their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/RawFedENC/
You can check for co-ops in your area here :https://keepthetailwagging.com/raw-dog-food-co-op-near-me/
Some alternatives to the Ross-Wells Titan blends are, The farmers dog, Ollie, NomNomNow and some freeze dried foods, found on chewy.com. You can also prepare meals yourself, a big help is Dr Beckers homemade meals book.(if you have the time to prepare) you must also provide nutrients, bone meal....etc.
