Panda is a Husky Mix... I think... >_>

In anycase, I usually take him for 2 to 3 walks a day, sometimes only once, I would have taken him to the park today but the schedule didn't allow it. He is 9 months old, now, on the long walks, he receives plenty of water, but is that still to many walks? Or should I actually increase it as I hear the certain breed's need a huge amount of workout.

I'm not really sure, for me I watch Gracie to see how she tolerates it. She's 6 months old now. When she's had enough I know because if I pause at all in our walk she will lay down.

I don't take mine for long walks anyway because Boss' leg can't take a long walk and Gracie doesn't seem to like walking far.

A min of 45 min for an adult dog no matter what breed they are. Tired dogs make happy dogs. I would try her on a 45 min walk to see how she handles it and go from there whether to increase or decrease, and you can always have training sessions in between excersize and play.

I'll do just that. Thanks. ^_^

2 to 3 walks a day is just fine.

Or vary your routine [

]. Take, say 2 walks and a romp in the field or 1 walk, a romp, and a swim.

If you can't tell, during the summer , I think swimming is the best way to go with northern breeds. It got up to 95 yesterday, with 70 being the coolest... too hot for me, let alone my puppers. So, I took her swimming for 20 or 30 mins, with a 5-10 min hike into the swimming spot.
