You're very welcome. I'm glad the rescue person was able to be persuaded
into giving this more thought.  Alot of Boxers came in with SA, some were
curable, some weren't. The ones who weren't were able to be desensitized
enough to be managable.  Only a small handful needed the aid of medication.
It makes for a harder adoption because people tend to want the easiest dog
you have but its certainly not a death sentence.  Thanks for the tidbit
about Victoria Voith, I have always wondered who came up with NILIF.
