I had one for 13 years. A male. Never had an issue with him roaming. We lived in a neighborhood in a small town. Average size yard with neighbors on each side of my house. I took him out every morning for a 1-2 mile walk and some retriever work in the evenings. After he was a year and a half old, he was very calm and laid back. I could leave him un-crated alone for hours and never had an issue. We traveled all across the country during hunting season and he traveled well. Strange motel rooms or cabins never bothered him. Miss that guy. RIP Magoo.

I don’t believe a WPG has ever voluntarily been more than 100 yards from there owner.
