Got an answer to the following Walking/Hiking question?

Wainwrights for older Dogs

Hi, hope you can help here. My dog is nearly 11. She loves walking but is obviously not getting any younger. We are coming to the lakes in September and are looking to bag some Wainwrights but I don't want to tackle any that will be too tough on her, particularly those where the summits are really too tough for an older dog. Is there any peaks over 2500ft that we really should be avoiding, or is there any website you can think of that gives advice on which peaks are accessible for the 'older' dog. I obviously don't want to push her too hard We are staying at Coniston and she managed the Old Man and Wetherlam last year as well as The Greater Fairfield Horseshoe, but we want to try some others and it doesn't matter if they aren't that local to Coniston. Any help gratefully received.
