Although Graham is an aussie mix he does not have all the traits of an aussie...only some of them. He is vocal, he will occationally herd kids (gently of course), he is extremely smart and he is easy to train. He does not have the energy level...he's actually pretty darn mellow! He casually runs or trots throught the agility courses. He's very accurate but he does not have the typical aussie speed.
