Yes, this is a sad truth. First of all wolf-crosses are illeagal through law. The checkoslovakan wolfdog is illeagal because of too reacent wolf-crossing and its ability to attack. Saarlooswolfhond has been spared to now, but the breed has many enemies who tries to ban it. Just say :"wolf" and its like putting gasoline on fire.
Margo:
You quoted a text from the NVVSWH about timberwolf-blood in SWH. I have excactly (by word) the same text in a book; The Encyclopeida of the Dog by Bruce Folge. I also beleived this till I consulted reputable breeders and folks knowing the breed for decenials. They reject it. But there can be a difference between the NVVSWH dogs and the dogs bred outside the Club. Maybe this is the cause of the inimical stands between Club-members and outsiders in this breed. CsW-breeders have something to learn here. SWH is a small breed with very limited dogs, lines and founder-animals. And the breed is split in 2 groups (Club-group and liberal-group) that cannot cooperate - even when the breed suffer serious hereditary health problemes (vz PRA).
