Yep, that's sure right.  Mine are both "crossover" dogs also.  
Linsey started first when we started open training.  She grabs for 
the dumbbell when I bring it out....let's play, let's play.  Sonny's 
newer and I also see that brain clicking.....what did I do, what did I 
do......  

I ran across Karen Pryor's series on shaping for the conformation 
ring on the web at:   
http://www.rosettes.w1.com/SHAPING.htm
http://www.rosettes.w1.com/shape2.htm

which may be of interest to conformation enthusiasts.
