    Yes a major research population at a university (Tx some where if my very faulty memory serves) had down syndrome (trisomy 21) in its beagles

    Could it be TX A&M perhaps? They're the only vet school in the state.

    I just remember the discussion with Pat Hastings.  She was mentioning she had read of it and was looking into getting more information.  I really can not remember the location.  Oh well price of getting old .  It was particularly interesting since I work with kids with disabilities, one reason this really stuck in my mind.  It is very similar to trisomy 21
