Looks more like a catahoula leopard, especially after seeing the pics in your journal. (often called a Lousiana Leopard dog around here)
Coffee anyone ?

That's for sure.
I looked up catahoula leopard dog and she certainly has a little resemblance. She's definitely a mix breed. The people we got her from said "cattle dog" but who knows if that's accurate.

between sire and dam, looks like a lot of Heinz in the background...
Perhaps GB, with it being just a small basic chicken coop, house framing procedures aren't really a necessity... If a tornado goes through, it won't matter either way. That roof won't have enough weight to really bow out the 2x4s anyway... Pretty sure it will work just fine doing it that way in the present application.

I didn't say it wouldn't work, just wondering why/if there is a reason for doing it that way.Perhaps GB, with it being just a small basic chicken coop, house framing procedures aren't really a necessity...

Turning studs one plane of direction on a jack wall and the opposite on the upper wall is very unusual, as is supporting joists in some places and not in others.

Wow really diverse litter with colors and stuff. And the dad certainly does look cattle dog. Mom almost looks cattle dog/pit? Or possible American Bulldog and no cattle dog. But definitely seems to be a mix, those ears aren't right for either breed. Although I can now see where the pup got her ears aha

I know my pup is a mix and that's fine with me. If I had paid top dollars for a pure bred pup and found out it's not then I'd be p***ed but I didn't pay top dollars.

Oh yeah, definitely nothing wrong with mixes at all! Sorry if it seemed like I was implying that at all, def wasn't trying to, was just meaning the parents seem to both be mixes or at least the mom so the pup is probably a mix of a mix and you might never know for sure, which of course is not important and nothing wrong with that. Mixes can be some of the best dogs. We have a mix and my brother and his fiancé have adopted two mixes this year and they're all great. Plus it's fun cause you get to see all the different personality traits and looks of various breeds. Ours is a 6 1/2 year old Black Lab/Great Pyrenees mix. He'll be 7 in March and we did buy him, he came from a little family farm type thing in Western Mass. But he's been having a lot of health problems the last year or so and even from beginning had bad hips plus was raised in a barn, not really socialized at all, so I'm not sure I'd go with BYB again but idk. He's great though. My brother's dogs are rescues. One they got in February at 12 weeks old. Rescue said Pyrenees/Border Collie, likely cause of her color (black and white), but DNA test says Pyr/Lab/Boxer and something else. The other one they adopted 4 weeks ago Saturday at I think 13 weeks but possibly older. And they said Pyrenees/Collie but they're gonna do a DNA test. It's a different rescue but yeah. We kinda think some sort of bird dog. Like English Setter, spaniel, or Golden or something. Sorry, I feel like I already mentioned all this? Sorry if I'm repeating myself. But point being mixes can be great dogs. Gator's half and half and he's great but the rescues, the super mixes of a ton of breeds, are even better I think. But don't tell Gator that

No worries, I wasn't even thinking that.
