Edited to add: my dog is a 1.5 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever.
Depends. Chase gets walked more on workdays when he's left alone from 8:00 until 5:00. On Tuesdays and Thursdays he's at doggy daycare. A typical Mon/Wed/Fri consists of about 2-2.5 hours:
6:00 AM - 30-40 minutes (either him trotting alongside me as I jog, or a 15 minute on-leash walk and a 15 minute retrieving session at the school yard)
12:00 - 45-60 minutes with the dog walker. She walks him on-leash to a local

ark. So about 30 minutes of leash walking and 15-30 minutes of off-leash ball chasing.
5:30 - 45-60 minutes with me at the off-leash park. He plays with other dogs when there's someone to play with. He'll also do lots of running back and forth as I walk the trails.
On weekends, we usually walk only once. We'll drive to a

ark that's about 20 minutes away for a longer hike and swim, usually an hour to an hour and a half. Sometimes I might also walk him on-leash for 20-30 mins in the evening if it's really beautiful out and I feel like it.
