Accepted Answer

Hello, THere are many reasons that your dog may be acting this way.  With older dogs, we worry about seizures or syncope.  Syncope is when the heart has issues pumping blood to your dog's body and they just collapse.  It would be best for your dog to see your vet.  They will want to run bloodwork and examine him to see what is going on.  In the meantime, I would reccomend limiting his strenuous exercise.
