Question
I walk my miniature poodle everyday for roughly 1 hr to 1 hr 15 minutes (around 3.5 miles) is that too much for him.  He seems to enough it.

Answer
Hello Nancy,
As long as your dog isn't showing signs of stress or tiredness after the walk, and you make sure that his feet are alright and that he has a drink on hot days, then he should be ok.
Poodles are energetic and as long as your dog is healthy and doesn't show signs of fatigue then walking that long should be fine.  
Use your judgement and if you notice him becoming tired or stressed, stop for a bit and let him rest.  

I hope this helps you some.  If you have other questions, please feel free to ask.
