Another dog topic!! How often do you walk yours?

How often and where do you exercise your dog(s)? We have had our first dog (a lab/possible greyhound cross) for four months now and I often wonder if he gets enough exercise. He is 2 yrs old and un-neutered and I take him to the local woods/ heathland twice a day for about 30 mins each time, where he is off the lead and runs like a mad thing chasing rabbits and he has another 3 short walks of about 10-15 mins each on the lead. Do you think this is enough? How much do you walk your dogs?

15 mins in morning, 40 mins or 90 mins in the evening (dependent on if summer or winter). 2 hours on a Saturday or Sunday.

Elderly neutered dalmatian prone to weight gain and stiff joints so he needs to keep mobile!!

birdsong, my 9 yr old takes our dog out on his own (only for 10 mins around the block) and I thnk he is old enough so I am sure your 13 yr old will be fine!
