Where can you find information on Down syndrome in canines?
I searched for canine trisomy in the internet. It looks like they can have a trisomy 1 whcih causes some types of cancers, trysomy 13 (thyroid issues) and 18. The word is actually trisomyism. Downs is trisomy 21. Humans are also sometimes born with a trisomy 19. Each has it's own name after the doctor who discovered them, Edwards, Downs, and Bach. Did not find any canine with trisomy 21

Are there cases of trisomy besides down syndrome that can survive?
My son is 3 years old with full trisomy 18. I have some videos on youtube that I've put together with lots of trisomy families I've found on facebook. My awareness video is of over 100 surviving kids of trisomy 13 and 18. Just go to youtube and search 'trisomy awareness' or trisomy advocacy' and you'll find them. There is also a website called 'livingwithtrisomy13.com' that has stories of over 100 trisomy 13 kids on it. I, also, personally know of two kids with trisomy 8. So, yes, there are cases of kids surviving trisomies other than trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome). :) Alisha Hauber
