For the same reason teenagers can float and 80-year olds can't. Older dogs just don't have the energy.

Will a female 10 yr old German Shepherd Husky mix and a young male Dachshund get along well?

Because the German Shepherd Husky mix is not a pure bred, no one knows the temperament of this 10 yr old female dog. I am assuming that you have the young male dachshund. if your young dachshund is still a puppy and loves to run , jump, play and dig, then he may be too hyper for the old gal. Usually an older dog would not get along too well with a hyper young pup, but if you know a lot about dogs and can handle the situation and protect the older dog and the younger dog from pissn each other off, then it could be done. If the older dog has been raised around younger dogs this also may help them to get along. Normally older dogs dont like to be bothered by they hyperness of the young.
