Notice where it says that in the 1960s, Sir Gay was the father of one out of four standard poodles who became show champions.
That is called The Popular Sire Problem - it just means that a large chunk of the puppies are related to each other , because show breeders all wanted to breed to show winners.

Like IF (in people) 25% of the Babies had been by Einstein,
then in the 1950s & 1960s, if 25% of the babies born had been by Elvis,
and then IF 25% of the babies born had been by Michael Jackson
- then a big percentage of dating age people would be related to each other.
