That's a good general rule. Pups can take more off lead exercise that on lead exercise because they will regulate themselves & usually lay down when they're tired. I still wouldn't give more than 10 minutes on lead, though, with maybe 10/15 minutes free play on grass.

Another thing to note is that walking on hard surfaces is harder on pups joints and ligaments. Soft surfaces like grass and sand are less damaging to pup's body's and they can have more time for free play without you having to worry.
