found this on a website...Why inbreeding Rarely occurs in Nature
Wild species of all kinds employ a number of behavioral strategies to avoid inbreeding. If Nature does something so consistently, you can bet there
is good reason. Among social animals, the young of one or both genders may disperse to form or join other groups. Dominant breeding males may
hold their position only a short time. Solitary animals tend to be territorial, at least in breeding season, with a male’s territory overlapping that of
several females. Their offspring must disperse and seek territory elsewhere, sometimes traveling long distances to do so. But even in nature,
conditions are occasionally such that an animal has no choice but to mate with a relative.
Islands that are well away from the nearest mainland gain species only rarely, when a very few individuals arrive through some accidental
circumstance. If they survive the initial inbreeding depression they adapt to their new environment, sometimes to the point of forming entirely new
species as can be seen with the finches and tortoises of the Galapagos Islands. But because island species have such a narrow genetic foundation
they are highly susceptible to anything that changes their environment. Native Hawaiian species have been severely impacted and many driven
extinct by their inability to adapt to the presence of species that accompanied early Polynesian migrants as well as more recent introductions by
American, European and Asian settlers.
The Standard Poodle is lucky to have begun with many founders. This means there should be many dogs to choose from to avoid inbreeding.
However, our breed, like most others, has experienced historic inbreeding stemming from the choices made by recent generations of breeders who
have used one sire more than others or frequently sought the output of a particular kennel.
