Just because he is (or will be) a large dog doesn't mean he can go long distances just yet. He is still a puppy. Once around the block should be plenty at his age. Watch him as you walk - if he is lagging behind, panting excessively, head low to the ground or is he obviously isn't enjoying the walk, it is too long.
Just around your backyard only.
He is not fully vaccinated until 16 weeks so he should not be allowed in public places until then.
Hard exercise (long distance or running/jogging) should not be done until after 12 months of age.
Large breeds can eaily damage joints if you exercise them too hard too young.
Thank you GGERTIE your answer is very informative!
Also thanks shazamataz also very helpful
