Re: Exercise
5 minutes per month of their age two or three times a day. So 40 minutes two or three times a day is good

At that age Logan got a short walk about 30 mins or so in the morning, then a longer walk about 45 mins in the evening. Then a bit of playing/training for 10-15 or so during the afternoon when I got the chance

As Tara said really, but you can have more off lead play if needed

Re: Exercise
My 2 are aged 12mths and 23mths they get approx 40mins - 60mins at least once a day (mornings)- but at least 20mins of that is offlead running batshite crazy !
And 20 mins afternoon.
They tend to spend most of the day sleeping !
U kinda need to gauge how active ur pooch is. Not every staffy is the same. Some may need more exercise - some not so much.
But as above the general rule is 5mins to each month.

Re: Exercise
Same as already advised to make sure that their bones structure has time to devolp properly. There are lots of indoor games you can do as well to help burn off some energy
