would depend on the dogs work style no reason why a good bolting dog shouldnt work on into its teens. so long as its fit and able

he certainly built for the job and usually physically able, but...he got stung yesterday and reacted bad to it hes in the vets on iv drip. fingers crossed he gets through it to have a go
