Longhaired Dachshund
stamp from Afghanistan

An issue from 1986 from Afghanistan.
Afghanistan is a mountainous land-locked country located in Central Asia. It has a history and culture that goes back over 5000 years. Throughout its long, splendid, and sometimes chaotic history, this area of the world has been known by various names. In ancient times, its inhabitants called the land Aryana. In the medieval era, it was called Khorasan, and in modern times, its people have decided to call it Afghanistan. The exact population of Afghanistan is unknown, however, it is estimated to be somewhere around 21-26 million. It is slightly smaller than Texas. They have cold winters and hot summers. Some current issues are limited fresh water resources, inadequate supplies of potable water, overgrazing and deforestation.The capital is Kabul. The majority of the population continues to suffer from insufficient food, clothing, housing, and medical care, problems exacerbated by military operations and political uncertainties.

from Amurskaya

These lovely stamp of long-hair dachshunds was issued by Amurskaya in 1997.
The economy in the former Soviet Union is in very sad shape. To bolster their income, the independent Russian states have started issuing topical stamps in the hope that the world market will buy them and not require the associated postal services. Whatever the reason, we are all winners when such lovely stamps and souvenir sheets are issued. This one is from Amurskaya, issued in 1997.

Antigua & Barbuda are a pair of sister islands in the north east Caribbean that became a nation when Great Britain "gave them their freedom." The two islands are not always at ease with each other since Barbuda contains 40% of the land but only 10% of the people and they prefer to not be developed by outsiders. The stamp on the left was issued in 1997, the one on the right is much newer but I do not have the exact year of issue.

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 Dachshund shown above is one of these "Russian Overprints" from Karelia. It shows a longhaired mother Dachie with her puppies nursing. 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.

Liberia is an independent republic which lies on the bulge of Africa between Sierra Leone and the Ivory Coast. The official language of Liberia is English but several local languages are more widely spoken. In 1980 a military coup overthrew the government and led to economic mismanagement and debt. A democratically elected government was elected in 1997; however, the war had severely damaged the economy through the loss of facilities and foreign investment.

Longhaired Dachshund
stamp from St. Thomas

Stamp issued in 1995.
Sao Tome E Principe was discovered and claimed by Portugal in the late 15th century, the islands' sugar-based economy gave way to coffee and cocoa in the 19th century - all grown with plantation slave labor, a form of which lingered into the 20th century. Although independence was achieved in 1975, democratic reforms were not instituted until the late 1980s. Though the first free elections were held in 1991, the political environment has been one of continued instability with frequent changes in leadership and coup attempts in 1995 and 2003. The recent discovery of oil in the Gulf of Guinea is likely to have a significant impact on the country's economy. Located in Western Africa, islands in the Gulf of Guinea, straddling the Equator, west of Gabon. It is more than 5 times the size of Wahington, D.C.

Longhaired Dachshund
stamp from San Marino

San Marino is a republic in southern Europe, an enclave in northern Italy, east of Florence. San Marino is one of the smallest republics in the world, covering about 24 square miles. In 1940, movie producer Darryl Zanuck thought it would make a pretty backdrop for his film, "Prince of Foxes." So he rented the whole country. This stamp was issued in 1994. It says that it is for the International Dog Exposition, but that was also the Year of the Dog, so it might have had a dual purpose.

Longhaired Dachshund
stamp from Solomon Islands

The Solomon Islands are in the Pacific between Australia and Hawaii. The origin of the present Melanesian inhabitants is uncertain. Although archaeological and linguistic evidence shows that Solomon Islands was probably settled 4,000 - 5,000 years ago by Austronesian, neolithic people from South-East Asia. Archaeological evidence also shows that one group of people settled on islands from the Bismarcks to Polynesian and became the ancestors of all Polynesians, some eventually returning to the outlying islands of Solomon islands. The first documented European contact was made in 1568 by the Spanish explorer, Alvaro de Mendana. Mendana discovered alluvial gold on Guadalcanal and, perhaps thinking he found the source of King Solomon's great wealth (the Biblical King Solomon's mine), named the islands the "Isles of Solomon ". Because of Mendana's Spanish heritage, many of the islands in the Solomon Islands bear original Spanish names. Great Britain declared a Protectorate in 1893 over the southern Solomons, adding the Santa Cruz group in 1898 and 1899. The islands of the Shortland group were transferred by treaty from Germany to Great Britain in 1900. The Islands were granted independence in 1978.
Communial, familial and clan ties remain very strong in Solomon Islands. Most people consider themselves to be part of an immediate family of 200 and can trace back their ancestors at least ten generations. The Pijin word "wantok" - which derives from "one talk" meaning people from the same language group - is used to indicate blood relatives in the extended family.
This stamp was issued by the Solomon Islands in 1994. The stamp has a referral in the upper left corner to Hong Kong, 1994 but that was also the Year of the Dog, so it might very well have had a dual purpose as well.

Longhaired Dachshund
stamp from Chuvashia

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 Long-haired Dachshund shown above on the right is one of these "Russian Overprints" from Chuvashia. These stamps come in a set of five different colored stamps all with the same overprint. They are of value only for a short while until the actual stamps can be printed. On the left is the stamp that was ultimately issued with the Long-haired Dachshund image from the overprint, put out by Touva.
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 permafrost, 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.
The republic of Touva lies at the upper reaches of the Siberian Yenisey River and forms a barrier between Russia and Mongolia. Since its independence from the former Soviet Union, Tuva continues to struggle to work on the appropriate way to safeguard and develop its own identity and sovereignty going through the difficult changes from a command-orientated planned economy towards an open market economy. Like so many other former Russian states, the diversity of the people is starting to be felt as the original culture, traditions and religion are gaining more followers.
** Chuvashia borders both of Russia�s European and Asian regions along one of the major tributaries of the Volga River. Chuvashia�s hops production and the locals� love of beer has earned the republic the nickname of "Russia�s Bavaria." Chuvash people are Turkish; strangely they are not Muslim but Christian orthodox.

Summer is short, rainy and cool; autumn is very cloudy (often there are almost no sunny days from October till January), foggy and rainy. This not very friendly land was originally inhabited by Udmurts (or Votyaks). These peaceful and quiet Finnish people maintained their culture heritage there at least for five thousand years. Their religion is also ancient. They worship the God (called Inmar, The Highest Being) and His assistants governing various elements. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Udmurtia became one of the local republics and as such they now issue stamps including this lovely Dachshund issued in 2000.

The Gambia Longhaired Dachshund
stamp from Gambia

is a long and narrow country in West Africa that parallels and takes in both sides of the Gambia River. It is surrounded by Senegal on all sides, except on the Atlantic coast, and for this reason the two countries have a lot of ethnic and cultural ties.

The picture on the left is a detail of the center of the souvenir sheet above.

Grenada is Longhaired Dachshund
stamp from Grenada

described as a spice island, because it produces large quantities of cloves and mace and about a third of the world�s nutmeg. It also grows cacao, sugar, bananas and a wide variety of other fruit and vegetables. Some of its beaches, especially Grand Anse, a dazzling two-mile stretch of white sand, are very fine, but the rest of the island is just as beautiful, rising from a generally rugged coast to a spectacular mountainous interior. The island is green, well forested and cultivated and is blessed with plenty of rain in the wet season. Grenada is the most southerly of the Windward Islands. In contrast to other Windward Islands, which have had a similar history of disputed ownership between the French and English, the French cultural influence in Grenada has completely died out. The population is very young; 38% are under 15 years old and nearly 26% are in the 15-29 years� age bracket.

Stamps Dachshunds with various coats

Cuban stamps are often difficult to come by since the US has an embargo against that country. For this reason, the ones that we have were typically brought in with collections from Canada or other countries. This series was issued in 1992 and the Dachshund stamp shows all three coat types in the single stamp. The only copies that I have were postmarked March 18, 1992.

Each year, Monaco issues a stamp to commemorate the International Dog Show being held in their country. As far as I know, Dachsies are the only breed that have had two stamps issued for them, in 1976 and 1988. The one on the left is the only stamp that we have that not only has all three coats, but both standard and miniatures in all three coats. The later stamp, on the right, has lovely head studies of the three types of Dachshund.

St. Kitts & Nevis are located in the northern part of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean.

The atmosphere here is luxuriant, an intoxicating blend of sunlight, sea air and fantastically abundant vegetation. On Nevis, the ground rises upward into a cloud forest filled with elusive green vervet monkeys and brilliant tropical flowers. Nevis was named after the spanish word for snow, not because there was any, but because of the white clouds that encircle the single peak of an island.

Longhaired Dachshund cards

Dachshunds have been in Britian since Queen Victoria's time--they were among her favourites. Shown since 1866 the Mini Long-haired was not classified separately as a sub-variety until 1948. The Germans called the miniatures "rabbiit dogs" and used them for hunting rabbits and for going to ground in the burrows. Dachshund means "badger dog" and they work very like terriers. but "hund" was originally translated as "hound" instead of dog and the Dachsie was placed in the Hound Group where it has remained ever since. The Mini Long-haired is one of the most popular varieties. They have flat shining coats, any colour being allowed. The variety has its own standard of points but resembles the Standard Dachshund in all respects except size. Sturdy and impudent, they are cheerful, active little dogs, their coat is easy to care for and they take up little room in house or car. Ideal weight should be 10 lbs and should not be over 11 lbs.
Dachshund(LH) Card 41 from England... $9.95 each

These delightful little dogs became popular towards the end of the last century. Perhaps, the influence of Queen Victoria had something to do with this, as she kept Dachshunds for many years after she married, and was especially fond of 'Deckel' whom she brought back from Germany. He was buried in the home park at Windsor after fourteen years of devotion. 'Dachshund' means 'Badger Dog' and indicates that they were originally very bold and sporting breed.

* 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.
