How much exercise does 4 months puppy should have?

Hi, My puppy is getting nearly 4 months old and I'm wondering if he is getting a proper amount of exercise. This is the 1st time to own a dog and any advice is appreciated.
I think my puppy is quite active. I take him out for a walk twice a day, morning and late afternoon. Especially in the morning (maybe because cooler), he likes to walk a lot. I searched on the internet and found a few people are saying no more than10 minutes for chow puppy. A too long walk can harm more than do good. Is that true? How many meters can a puppy walk in 10 minutes? During my puppy's walk, he sniffs, plays and stops. So it's a bit difficult to measure 10 minutes.
Additionally, he spends time at big size yard where I have seven rabbits. He plays & chases rabbits = more exercise.
Any advice/comments? Thank you.
