THE DISTANCE IS ABOUT 1 MILE

If you are taking him for two one-mile walks a day, I would ensure to stay with his pace and give him a chance to rest if he needs it.  At that age, I kept my pup's walks at one half of a mile with frequent play time throughout the day.

What our breeder said add 5 mins for every month the pup is so yours is what 4 months old now so 4x5=20mins so 20 mins walks i would recommend and bulid him/her up from there remember 5mins for every month your pup is our breeder said it is better on the hips.

Its 20 mins to get from a to b and back to a again don't taek him somewhere where it takes all his walking time up and he's shattered that you have to carry him back i always said its about the energy its about the hips
