As for exercise, you as the owner have to make a commitment to find a place to exercise the dog properly. I take my dog in the car 10 - 15 minutes drive to a vacant area with few/no surrounding homes, at 5am so that she can get at least 40 - 60 minutes of stretching her legs, perhaps not going nuts, but getting some freedom.
In the afternoons, we are only out for about 20 - 30 minutes (I go where there are trees so there is some shade.
I take cold water, at this time of year semi frozen so it stays cool, and give it to her regularly.
If you can't see yourself doing this daily then you should rethink bringing puppy. It's not easy.
