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 Pomeranian stamp for our collections. They issued this stamp in 2001.

This first Pomeranian stamp was issued in 1994 by the island nation of Antigua and Barbuda in commemoration of the Year of the Dog. They issued a set of small dogs with 12 breeds and large dogs with an additional 12 breeds.
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.

After seven decades as a constituent republic of the USSR, Belarus attained its independence in 1991. It has retained closer political ties to Russia than any of the other former Soviet republics. Belarus and Russia signed a treaty on a two-state union on 8 December 1999 envisioning greater political and economic integration. Although Belarus agreed to a framework to carry out the accord, serious implementation has yet to take place. Belarus is located in Eastern Europe, east of Poland. Belarus is slightly smaller than Kansas. The climate is cold winters, cool and moist summers; transitional between continental and maritime. The terrain is generally flat and contains much marshland. The population of Belarus is 10,310,520. The capital is Minsk.

This gorgeous stamp of Pomeranians was put out by Bermuda in 1992. All of the stamps in this set were beautifully drawn, although I don't have the name of the artist. This group brought us some of our rarer breeds, including the Schipperke and Border Terrier. This Pom is a lovely representative of beautiful stamp art.
Bermuda was the first British place outside the United Kingdom to have its own stamp issues. Bermuda (Somer's Isles) has 6 main islands and 120 others in under 21 square miles. Resident population is 62,400. More than 80 percent are Bermudians.

This is one of the first Pomeranian stamps ever issued in 1964, by Bulgaria. At first, these used to be very common, but they are getting harder to find. It certainly deserves to be part of a complete set.
The Bulgars, A Central Asian Turkic Tribe, merged with the local slavic inhabitants in the late 7th century to form the first Bulgarian state. In succeeding centuries, Bulgaria struggled with the Byzantine Empire to assert its place in the Balkans, but by the end of the 14th century the country was overrun by the Ottoman Turks. Bulgaria regained its independence in 1878, but having fought on the losing side in both World Wars, it fell within the Soviet sphere of influence and became a Peoples Republic in 1946. Communist domination ended in 1990. The country is slightly larger than Tennessee. The capital is Sofia.

Buriatia, in Russia issued all of the above stamps. The one on the left came out in 1999 as did the one on the right. The one in the middle was issued in 1998. The left and the middle are obviously the same image. It is interesting how different things can look with various backgrounds.
Buriatia is in southern Siberia near Lake Baykal on the Mongolian border and such the Buryat people are Buddhists as well.
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 such lovely examples as these stamps put out by Buriatia.

Burkina Faso, formerly Upper Volta, became independent from France in 1960. Governmental instability during the 1970's and 1980's was followed by mulitparty elections in the early 1990's. Burkina Faso is a landlocked country where recent droughts and desertification are severely affecting agricultural activities, population distribution and the economy. Several hundred thousand farm workers migrate south every year to work in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana.

This novel stamp is called a Russian Overprint. When the Russian economy got out of hand, the inflation rose so quickly that the stamps that had been printed were no longer of enough value to mail a letter. In a novel move, the government took blocks of four of these stamps and overprinted them with a new image and new value to sell until new stamps could be produced. These were issued for a very short time and were not made for the world market. For this reason, they will soon be collector's items and very rare in dog collections. This lovely overprint is even nicer, since it contains the three sizes of dog: the Keeshond, the Spitz and the Pomeranian that all sprang from the same sources. It comes as a set of five stamps of five different colors with the same overprint on each. (sample shown to the right)

England is an interesting country. In addition to them calling their kennel club The Kennel Club, they don't bother to put the name of their country on their stamps, since they come from The Post Office. The image of the queen is in the upper right. This painting is one done by George Stubbs near the turn of the century called Fino and Tiny. The stamp was issued in 1991.

This a painting by artist 'Kamashima' titled "Visitor to Art Studio" It was issued by Japan in 1995. Since it is not ever listed as a dog stamp, you will not find it in normal collections.
Pomeranian Japan Stamp... $6.95 each

This stamp was issued by the Russian local state of Karelia in 1999.
Karelia is on the northwest corner of Russia, bordering Finland, to which it once belonged. I expect that it will remain available for some time.
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.

"Look at me". This stamp was issued in 2001 by Komi.
The Komi Republic is situated in the extreme North-East part of Russia. It is a multinational state, since the population of Komi Republic is estimated at 1.2 million citizen and consists of 100 nationalities. The Komi Republic is now a democratic legal state included into the Russian Federation. The republic has unique stocks of mineral resources thanks to their location, diversity and quality.

This is an issue from Korea. It is shown on the souvenir sheet below, with the three breeds.
Following World War II, Korea was split, with the northern half coming under Communist domination and the southern portion becoming Western-orented. KIM ChongIl has ruled North Korea since his father and the country's founder, president KIM Il-song, died in 1994. After decades of mismanagement, the North relies heavily on international food aid to feeed its population while continuing to expend resources to maintain an army of about 1 million. North Korea's long-range missile development and research into nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and massive conventional armed forces are of major concern to the international community. In december 2002, North Korea repudiated a 1994 agreement that shut down its nuclear reactors and expelled UN monitors, further raising fears it would produce nuclear weapons.
The area of North Korea is slightly smaller than Mississippi. The climate is temperate with rainfall concentrated in summer. Mostly hills and mountains separated by deep, narrow valleys; The people are traditionally Buddhist and Confucanist. note: autonomous religious activities now almost nonexistent, government-sponsored religious groups exist to provide illusion of religious freedom. They speak Korean. the capitol is Pyongyang.

Nagaland is a local area of India. This stamp was issued in 1973 as one of the earlier dog sets ever printed. There were about 14 breeds and they are still some of the nicest ones available.
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 northeastern corner of the country, Nagaland is home to myriad tribes and sub tribes.

Pomeranian stamp from Netherlands Antilles

The Netherland Antilles is a group of islands in the Caribbean. Once the center of the Caribbean slave trade, the island of Curacao was hard hit by the abolition of slavery in 1863. Its prosperity (and that of neighboring Aruba) was restored in the early 20th century with the construction of oil refineries to service the newly discovered Venezuelan oil fields. The island of Saint Maarten is shared with France; its northern portion is named Saint Martin and is part of Guadeloupe. This stamp was issued by the Netherlands-Antilles in 1995.

This is a fairly new stamp from Nevis.
St. Kitts & Nevis are located in the northern part of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean. Like no other islands in the Caribbean, they seem to embody a kind of lush tropical paradise usually associated with the South Pacific. 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.

Para Timor produced this lovely body pose and headstudy in 2000. East Timor is an area of Indonesia that recently voted to become independent. There is much unrest still since the current government does not want to give up power.

Pomeranian stamp from St Vincent and the Grenadines

St. Vincent and the Grenadines has issued two stamps for the Pomeranian, but I would seriously doubt that the right one is anything but a Papillon. The fact that it very plainly says, "Pomeranian" is about the only recommendation for that one for your Pom collection. This is one of the fun errors that we have found over the years. We have an Irish Terrier labeled an Irish Setter and a Basset Hound that says Dachshund. Such is life :-) The one on the left, however is a unique and attractive rendition.

This is a fairly new stamp from turkmenistan.
Annexed by Russia between 1865 and 1885, Turkmenistan became a Soviet republic in 1925. It achieved its independence upon the dissolution of the USSR in 1991. President NIYAZOV retains absolute control over the country and opposition is not tolerated. Extensive Hudrocarbon/natural gas reserves could prove a boon to this underdeveloped country if extraction and delivery projects were to be expanded. Turkmenistan is on the east side of the Caspian Sea, just above Iran. It is slightly larger than California in size. Its terrain is flat-to-rolling sandy desert with dunes rising to mountains in the south; low mountains along border with Iran; borders Caspian Sea in west. The religion is Muslim 89%, Eastern Orthodox 9%, unknown 2%. The capital is Ashgabsat.

Pomeranian Souvenir Sheets & Stamps from North Korea
We have a number of Pomeranian stamps from North Korea, probably because the leader owned the four breeds seen below -- the Pomeranian, Japanese Chin, Sheltie and Pointer. Whatever the reason, it is wonderful to have such a collection of Pomeranian stamps for this lovely breed.

This stamp is a Souvenir Sheet issued in 1994 for the Year of the Dog. It is not only from North Korea, which is embargoed and therefore not easy to find, but it is sought by collectrs of the other breeds in the selvage. But the Pomeranian has a prime position on this sheet. We also occasionally find the individual stamps from the printing like the one on the right.

This lovely souvenir sheet was issued in 1991 by North Korea. Pomeranian stamp from Korea It was incredibly expensive since it was probably brought to the country via Canada (we have an embargo against North Korea). I am not sure what it commemorates, but the art work is outstanding and it deserves to be part of any Pomeranian Collection! The image to the left is a detail of one of the pomeranians in the group of Japanese Chins, Shelties and Poms, all probably owned by the ruler.

The focus of this page is on the poodle, but the Pom in the upper left is strong enough to draw your eyes away from the Poodle. The enlarged detail to the right shows the intensity of the Pom.
Bhutan is a tiny, landlocked country, squeezed between China and India, the two most populous countries. It takes its native name -- Druk Yul -- from the fierce storms that sweep down out of the Himalayan Mountains. Druk Yul means "land of the thunder dragon." Bhutan is the last surviving Buddhist kingdom in the Himalayas and its deeply devout Buddhist culture bears a strong resemblance to that found in Tibet. Wary of foreign influence, Bhutan has full diplomatic ties with only 16 countries and sightseers were barred from the country until 1974. Even now, Bhutan limits the number of tourists to just 4,000 a year.

Somalia, also called the Somalia Democratic Republic, is located on the Horn of Africa, the easternmost part of the African continent. Although it gained its independence in 1960, nearly constant unrest has kept it from establishing a lasting presence in the area.

Tadjikistan plays a fascinating role in the power struggle in central Asia. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the declaration of independence by the former Soviet republics, Tadjikistan acquired national sovereignty for the first time in history. Inexperience, in conjunction with a particular clan-oriented, regional-based, political culture established the foundation for the prolonged conflict that ensued in post-Soviet Tadjikistan. The intensity of this conflict has been further fueled by the ethnic and historical externalities of the unresolved political situation in Afghanistan.
Today, Russia's interests in Tadjikistan center around preserving its economic and geopolitical position in Central Asia. These interests, however, conflict with those of the newly independent states in the region, which are focused on preventing Tadjikistan from becoming a "Russian protectorate." In this respect, resolution of the civil war in Tadjikistan is part of the broader problems of reconstituting global spheres of influence and establishing a "new world order" in the wake of the Soviet collapse.
In addition to the seemingly obvious military, strategic, and geopolitical factors, there are critical economic issues that underlie Russia's interests in retaining Tadjikistan within its sphere of influence. Tadjikistan is a mountainous country, rich in fuel and mineral deposits. Tadjikistan's potential to generate hydroelectric power is second only to Russia among CIS member states. Moreover, not so long ago, Tadjikistan was Moscow's main supplier of several minerals, as well as cotton. Finally, the country has the resources and infrastructure to become a major industrial power in the region.
This country is worth studying on its own and now it has issued some of the nicest stamps available from any country.
This is probably one of the most amazing mini sheets ever produced. There are eighteen breeds represented and they have managed to run a perforation line through all but one. My, what an accomplishment. The Pomeranian is shown enlarged to the left.

Russia or Russian Federation, independent republic in eastern Europe and northern Asia, the worlds largest country by area. Russia was once the largest and the most prominent republic of the Union of Soviet socialist Republics(USSR, or Soviet Union). In 1991 the USSR broke apart and Russia became an independent country. In general, Russia's climate is similar to that of Canada. Like Canada, although colder and with greater temperature extremes in many places, most of Russia has a harsh continental climate. although climate, and to some dgree soils, limit the country's agricultural wealth. mineral wealth is considerable. Russia's mineral resources are unmatched by any other country. The capital and largest city is Moscow. Russia constitutes more than one-ninth of the world's land area and nearly twice the area of United States or china. Russia is the sixth most populous country, after China, India, the United States, Indonesia, and Brazil. The wealthy, known as the New Rich or New Russians, since 1991, often live quite extravagantly. However, approximately a quarter of the population live in poverty and another 25 to 30 percent earn only slightly more than poverty wages. Many of the elderly, mostly women on fixed incomes, are poor.

* We can take visa/mc/disc or paypal, but they are first come first served, so let me know if you are interested. We try to keep all stamps in stock, so we probably have the ones that you are looking for.

* 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.
