That is an interesting question, i wonder the same thing.

Yes. Dogs can have downs, but it's very rare. What symptoms are you seeing?

It's more likely Waardenburg syndrome which is pretty common. It presents with hearing and sight issues. I've got a few gliders with it and it's not life threatening.
