How often you walk your dog really depends on your particular dog. If you have a Pomeranian puppy that is healthy and ready to go then you will need to walk him several times a day to help teach him to potty outside and to help release energy. Puppies need a lot of exercise to grow and to keep from getting bored. You should generally walk a dog at least 30 minutes a day or at least let him have 30 minutes of run around time in a fenced in area. For puppies like the Pomeranian, you may need to take him on several short walks in order to spread the walks out and help him break up his day. For a larger dog, like a Golden Retriever, one big walk of 30 minutes or more is definitely needed along with short potty breaks.
