It's not a fact but only your assumption. Let's look at one of the characteristics of CWD and SWH: eyes.

German Shepherd - brown eyes
European Wolf - amber eyes
CWD - from brown to amber eyes
SWD - brown, amber and BLUE eyes

A miracle? Just a clarification: there are canadian wolves with blue eyes.

Let's look at different characteristic: the mask

CWD - sometimes without the mask but usually like by european wolves
SWD - the shape of the mask more similar to the one you can see by nordic breeds: malamutes or husky

And you want to say that in Holland there are blue eyes German shepherds? Then I have to admit the difference between Dutch and Czech GSD is anormous. I saw in Czech Republic no GSD with blue eyes.
