The collapse of the Soviet Union has created a gold mine for stamp collectors. The local governments have issued some wonderful stamps in an effort to sell them to the world market and not even have to provide the associated service of mailing letters with them. This is a real boon when you see the number of Russian stamps issued below. Altai is also from the Russian block and is in southeast Western Siberia. It was noted as the largest agricultural producer in the Soviet Union.

The disintegration of the Soviet Union is bringing to light the enormous diversity of the indigenous people who were kept under its rule. The Altaics were a nomadic, herding people for millennia. They had a native language and customs. Several related groups are now considered more self-ruling, such as Dagestan, Kyrgyzstan and Altai. In 1997, Altai started to issue unique stamps and some of them were of different breeds of dogs. By 2000, they issued this attractive Australia Terrier Dog stamp for our collections.

What is more appropriate than to have an Australian Terrier stamp from Australia? Acutally, Australia issued a wonderful set of stamps with their local breeds like the Kelpie, Australian Cattle Dog and Border Collie. This set including the stamp above was issued in 1980, making it the first Australian Terrier stamp available.

The economy in Russia since the break up of the Soviet Union has such high inflation that stamps that were previously issued are

not of enough value to mail a letter any more, so to remedy the situation, the local Post Offices have taken blocks of four "old" printed stamps and overprinted them with a new image and a new value. The Australian Terriers shown above are some of these "Russian Overprints" from Bapoha and Udmurtia. These stamps come in a set of five different colored stamps all with the same overprint. Last time that I got in some overprints, I assumed that they would remain available. I was wrong and I never saw more copies of those. I expect these to be equally as rare and collectable. There is no telling how many of the overprints they produced (not many), since they were never designed to be sold on the world market. They are of value only for a short while until the actual stamps can be printed. There was ultimately a stamp printed in color from the same image, but I have not been able to get them in stock yet.

Australian Terrier stamp from Karakalpakia

Karakalpakia issued this nice head study of the Australian Terrier.
Karakalpakia, now under the domain of Uzbekistan, is on the edge of the shrinking Aral Sea, which has recently revealed a shocking scale of environmentally induced disease. Women and children are most severely affected from the spread of pesticides and other pollutants as the lake - once the fourth largest in the world - has turned into a desert, its waters siphoned off to irrigate vast cotton fields and rice paddies in Central Asia. Over 20 per cent of the young women, aged 13-19, have kidney disease, and another 23 per cent suffer from thyroid dysfunctions. And many women have high levels of lead, zinc and strontium in their blood. Although the Aral Sea probably has less than 10 years of life left, if nothing is done to salvage what remains of it, the 1.1 million residents of Karakalpakia are under immediate health threats. If nothing is done to improve the health of the people we may be witnessing the end of another entire society as a result of human folly. This stamp was issued in 1999.

This stamp is from Karelia, which is on the northwest corner of Russia, bordering Finland, which it once belonged to. It was issued in 1999.
The Republic of Karelia is a remarkably beautiful land of white nights, boundless forests, and blue lakes. It is located on the border of Western and Eastern Europe, on the border of cultures and religions. Severe beauty of its nature, the climate, not too favourable in these latitudes, the coexistence and intermingling of various peoples inhabiting this land for centuries all that conditioned the character of the people living here: very laconic, self-assured, contemplative, and tolerant people. It also accounts for the fact that there is no national strife and terrorism in this land.

Mordovia is located between Moscow and the Volga River and is bordered by the republic of Chuvashia on the east. Mordovia is one of the 21 Russian republics, which are the administrative units with the greatest amount of autonomy within the new Russian Federation. Mordovia is a largely agricultural region. Like most of the other republics, Mordovia has started issuing new postal stamps including this Australian Terrier in 1998.

One of the smallest states of the Indian Union, Nagaland is almost unexplored, as far as tourist destinations are concerned. A starkly remote terrain and scenery makes Nagaland, a place worth a visit for those adventurous in spirit.
Situated in the north eastern corner of the country, Nagaland is home to myriad tribes and sub tribes. In 1973, they issued an early set of dog stamps, making this the first Australian Terrier stamp that I have found.

In 1976 the Saharawi people declared their independence from Spanish rule and set up the Republic of Saharawi for self determination. It has been a very rocky road. In 2000, they issued a set of dog stamps where each dog is shown with a landmark of his native country. In the case of the Australian Terrier, he is shown in front of the famous opera house in the Sydney harbor.

Australian Terrier stamp from St. Vincent & Grenadimes

Caribs were the first inhabitants of St. Vincent. Columbus marked the presence of the island on his third voyage in 1498, but didn't go ashore. The Caribs were tenacious, keeping the European conquistadors at bay longer than on any other island.
In 1787, Captain William Bligh set sail from England on the Bounty, bound for Tahiti. The purpose of the voyage, which ended in mutiny, was to collect breadfruit plants and transport them to St. Vincent for use as food for slaves. In 1793 Bligh eventually arrived in St. Vincent on another ship loaded with breadfruit seedlings. The fruit would make the island famous. To this day, bananas are the main export from the island.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines achieved independence in 1979. The islands have produced many stamps over the years, including this Australian Terrier from 1998.

This Australian Terrier stamp was issued by Touva in 1999. Touva (often spelled Tuva) is a country in the southern area of Siberia. It's a unique place with the landscapes ranging from the desert to the perma frost, and local fauna-from camels to reindeers. Touva is known as almost the only place in the world where shamanism, a very ancient religion, is preserved, kept and cultivated in its original form.

Uganda achieved independence from the UK in 1962. The dictorial regime of Idi AMIN (1971-1979) was responsible for the deaths of some Australian Terrier stamp from Uganda

300,000 opponents; Guerilla war and human rights abuses under Milton OBOTE (1980-85) claimed another 100,000 lives. During the 1990's the government promulgated non-party presidential and legislative elections. Uganda is located in eastern Africa, west of Kenya. The climate is tropical; generally rainy with two dry seasons (December-February, June to August). Uganda is landlocked; fertile, well-watered country with many lakes and rivers. English is the official Language, taught in grade schools. The capital is Kampala. Coffee is the major export crop and accounts for the bulk of export revenues.

* We can take visa/mc/disc or paypal, but they are first come first served, so let me know if you are interested.

* Truly one of the cheapest unique treats for yourself or a friend (great for club trophies as well!)

* It is absolutely true that you will often find some of these stamps at very reasonable prices -- some can be had for under a dollar. On the other hand, if you add in the gas, hours, and hassles that it has taken to find them, you may find it easier to just get them from us while we have them :*) I don't always count on getting more in the near future. I get them when I can find them and the stock is not always constant.

* I do have other breeds available. Let me know and perhaps I can do a page for your breed.
