Simply said: typical Saarloos (and not CzW-Saarloos crosses) look exactly like Canadian or American Wolves.

There are white German Sheperds and thats the other part of the Saarloos.Where the Brown colour comes from,I don't know.
The only color that a Saarloos eye may have is yellow,only when the dogs is older than he is more amber.When they have brown eyes it's a defect.Everybody knows that there are people that do wrong things,with Saarloos and CZW.
2 of my dogs are standing on pictures with CzW's and from a distance you see no difference in colours.

I don't know where you have taken the translation from the de Dutch Breeding club,but I never heard anyone saying in holland that the SWH is better to train as a CzW.The SWH is not a working dog like the CzW.
The SWh is a calm dog,who is very social with dogs and people.

I heard a lot of things here on this page,what doesn't conform to the SWh,I think there are more cross breedings outside Holland as we ever thaucht.

Thake a look at the pages and see old wolfdogs from the Saarloos time end the other page with new foto's.Some of the dogs look not 100% standaard,but most of them have Yellow eyes
