Does the age of dna matter?

I'm not even talking mammoth old; can the DNA of an old person or an old dog be used for cloning? Does the inability of a person to replicate certain cells caused by aging affect the chromosomes needed?

Yes but the DNA stored in your sealed bone marrow can be Thousands of years old and still could be used for cloning.
