How long should i exercise my puppy?

Brasky asked:


My german shepherd puppy loves to take walks with me. He’s 10 weeks old and i wondered what the time limit is for a puppy of that age. He keeps up well and i think the longest walk we’ve been on so far has been around 1/2 hour. I get a little worried about hips and elbows since he’s a large breed puppy and growing fast. Is 30 minutes too long? How long of a walk should we go on?

What kind of puppy should I buy for my son?

MzVictoria asked:


I have never owned a dog (only cats). I plan on spending the next year researching the perfect puppy for my son and then getting him his first puppy by the time is beginning to walk. I want a dog that is loving, sweet, very playful and also protective. I prefer smaller to mid-size dogs but would consider any breed. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your comments, suggestions and feedback.
