Young GSDs should not be walked for miles & miles this will(as with all puppies)damage the growth plates in the long bones of the legs. There exercise should be correlated to their age-as in 5 mins per month of age
Most breed clubs have Long coat classes now-the longcoat must have correct undercoat & correct construction
He does not get walked miles and miles I am aware of the 5 min per mnth guideline. He gets 2 20-25min walks per day and usually half of that time is off leash so he can rest when he wants to.
