Jogging with my Goldendoodle puppy...

I have been doing some light jogging with my 11 week old, 14 lbs goldendoodle pup for the past couple of days, just around the block or through the park, never more than 10-20 minutes and at a light pace. She loves the exercise! She hates walking on the leash (she has anchoring issues) but when jogging slowly she is right by my leg the whole way. Someone told me that I should avoid jogging with her until she reaches a year old because of her joints and bone development. I know that it could be harmful to take a puppy on a 5k, but what about a 15 minute light jog 2 times a day? She is not at full speed, and of course I go at her pace, slow down when she wants, etc. I can't see the harm, she loves the exercise, but of course I don't want to hurt her. I will ask the vet when we go for her next set of shots, but I'm just looking for some opinions in the meantime.
