I'm not a dog expert by any means...Angel is 2 years old and we didn't have her when she was a puppy...we know (from the one time she got out) that she can run nine miles in under an hour. Our Husky puppy does several walks a day, and one or two of those walks are just training sessions. He's only four months old...once a week at minimum he goes for a forty minute walk.
We've noticed with him it's not the time so much as the ammount of energy expended. If your pup will chase a ball in the back yard you can work with her on that, just make sure because she's a puppy you stop before she's uninterested in it. Angel isn't interested in fetch but she will chase things, our husky is the same way unless we let him know that he gets a treat for bringing it back. If you're talented enough with a bicycle, scooter or roller blades you can cover alot of ground in a short period of time and maybe get some of the more intense energy out of your darling pup. Sorry if I don't have a definate answer for you, I'd still talk to your vet if you're not sure. I'll try to look up some more activities that burn off high ammounts of energy in short periods of time and try to get it posted up by tonight.
