    Catahoula Hog Dog! :) Or Catahoula hound, to be proper.  That and maybe a bit of ;Pittie.

    here's her and my dog

    I'm going to say Australian Cattle Dog (A.K.A. "Heeler") and some sort of bully breed, pittie or American Bulldog, probably.
     
    I don't really see any Catahoula in her

    well she saw the mother, who was a full black lab, and she was told the daddy was australian shepherd and border collie.  she has a lot of the herding traits and she's a great runner/jumper. 
    do you see those in her?

    Border collie could definitely be in there.

    Here's a friend's dog - all Border collie.  BCs can be more or less "speckled" than this one, even.

    Ahhh looking at the second set of pics I see more cattle dog and less Catahoula - the first pictures looked "taller"

    ACD x black lab would be my guess. (A lot of people confuse 'ticked' (ACD color/pattern) with merle (aussie color pattern.)

    I don't see ANY pittie in her.
    That's all I know.

    Really? I thought the wideness of her head/crown looked pittie...but maybe thats just me

    ACD's have very wide heads, but it's a different kind of wide than a pit.  They're very "cheeky", whereas pitties have wide bone structure in their face.
     

    Googled image - look at how wide the cheeks are in relationship to the width of the muzzle...muzzle's pretty thin comparatively.
     

    Now compare the muzzle width to that of the face on the pittie type...muzzle's just about as wide as the entire face.  When you get muzzles that wide, usually the best guess is that there's pit in there.  Pits also have very heavy cheekbones.
