I'm the breeder behind Cape Fear Bichons located in Wilmington, NC. Through DNA, OFA, Temperament Testing and careful pup to family matching, our goal is to ensure every pup or dog that comes from our program is set up to live a happy and healthy life. We provide each of our pups with lots of socialization and love, and we are dedicated to maintaining responsible breeding policies.
About Jackie & Dan
We have loved the Bichon for many years. We strive for good health and excellent temperament through proper testing. Our Bichon adults and pups are weighed against the AKC Standard. We also rescue any Bichons in our area that may need our assistance. We love traveling and watching sanctioned shows involving the Bichon! As empty nesters we have replaced our grown children with Bichon babies 😊
What makes Jackie & Dan’s program special
Each of our Bichons is our pet living in our home with us. Our Bichon babies are born in my bedroom right by my side
