Hello from The Z-Pack in Los Angeles

Member Introductions
  • Who is The Z Pack? Ziggy, Zoe, and Zen … that is, Ziggy the 9-year-old Basenji, Zoe, the Collie/Pharaoh Hound, and Zen (me!). I got Ziggy about a month ago; he's my second tri-color B. Would love to meet up with other B-owners in the LA area. I'm a psychology book editor, novelist (speculative fiction), racquetball player, and, of course, Basenji lover. :-) Feel free to drop me a line! ~ Lori ~

    but no dog has brought apology to a finer art.”

  • Welcome Z-Pack. I live in the SF Bay Area. Where did you get Ziggy from? I'm assuming since he is 9, he was a rescue?

  • Hi, Studio City here if your close by lets get the B's together @ a park or something!

  • Welcome! This is a great site! Post pictures of your crew when you can! We love pictures!

  • MaxBooBoBear, I got Ziggy from the Medfly Brigade Basenji Rescue group. Great people! If you want their contact info, let me know. Cheers, Lori

  • Hi, Lori. I got my Tyler and Zoey from Karen and Chuck (Medfly Brigade) a few months ago. They were there almost two years because they needed to be placed together–and then I came along. Yes--Karen and Chuck are just unbelievable with the amount of work they do to rescue and care for basenjis. It is really a labor of love for them. It's great that you adopted one of their "senior citizens." And for anyone here on the board, they have many great Bs and mixes in Southern CA that need forever homes.

    Aggression is an all encompassing term. As pointed out above, there is quite a range! It is not unusual for Basenjis to be dog aggressive. Mine is, and I just avoid other dogs because I know his intentions are not good. Some are same sex aggressive and fine with members of the opposite sex, and some may just be making a statement when they are leashed. If you describe what you are seeing more specifically I am sure lots of people will have common experiences and possible training fixes to share. I would love to see some pictures of Tucker, and welcome to the forum!

    Welcome and so sorry to hear about the health issues of your two B's…. Thank you for opening up your home to them... And Thank Goodness we now have DNA tests for Fanconi so that no Basenji ever has to suffer with this horrible affliction.
