Answer
It's not just the amount of exercise, its the type.  Puppies should exercise on soft surfaces and do things that replicate playing outside a den.  They should not be running at your side for long on leash on hard surfaces.  These are safe times for pups to exercise, by age of the puppy.  You can exercise them a few times a day at these levels and be OK.  

3 months  = 15 minutes
4 months  = 20 minutes
5 months  = 25 minutes
6 months  = 30 minutes
7 months  = 35 minutes
8 months  = 40 minutes
9 months  = 45 minutes
10 months  = 50 minutes
11 months  = 55 minutes
1 yr  = 1 hr

The dog in your photo looks like a yellow Labrador Retriever (field type) or Labrador mix.
