They aren't some mythical beast that's for sure and I've never heard a single Irish man claim that they are because they'd be laughed at if they did, is there plenty of men that like them and their crosses.. Definitely.. Myself included, if your into knocking over foxes with a lurcher then you could do a lot worse than having a wheaten cross, I've seen far more shite bull xs over the years than wheaten xs, only been around a handful of pures some were decent a couple were first class and some were culls and good for no purpose.
