I wanted to add HUMAN Seniors too, there are a few on this list. That sure does hit home. But, I don't agree that we should do anything other than judge the dogs. I don't agree to give extra credit due to age. If a dog makes the cut, he or she should do it on merit, and we should not ask a judge to leave them in for any other reason than quality. I feel the same about old people and I speak from experience. Don't cut me any slack because I am old, just get out of my way. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
