Australian Cattle Dog Stamps

Australian Cattle Dog stamp from Australia

It is only fitting to start our tour of Australian Cattle Dog stamps with one from Australia. I particularly like a stamp that shows the dogs working and this lovely stamp is beautifully executed and dramatic. It was issued in 1980 along with other dogs from Australia such as the Kelpie, Dingo, and the Australian Terrier.

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 Cattle Dog stamp for our collections.

In 1997, Gambia issued one of the most unique dog stamps available. Not only did it have unusual breeds, but also the artistic rendering was unlike anything else that we have had before. At first I didn't care much for the set, but with time, I have come to appreciate the subtle colors, different positioning and artistic license that the artist took.

Australian Cattle Dog stamp from Hakasia

Hakasia is located in the south of Serbia, next to the Sayan-Altay Mountains and Yenisey River and the the north Altay Republic. Its capital is the city of Abakan. The real name of Hakas people who speak Turkish is Koray people. They are composed of four tribes. Hakasia is devoted to its own language, culture and traditions and there is a university, technical institute, and institutes for linguistic, historical and literary researches in Hakasia. There are also various cultural and artistic institutions, 4 theatres, library and museums as well as music and art schools. Hakas Turks are Christians, but they continue their Shamanist beliefs and traditions. Agriculture, stockbreeding and timber productions are the means of subsistence in the region. Breeding of sheep horses, cattle, and beekeeping are also the signicant means of subsistence.
They issued this Australian Cattle Dog stamp in 1999.

Australian Cattle Dog stamp from Karelia

This stamp was issued in 2001.
Karjala and Karelia are one and the same country. It is an autonomous republic within Russia with 800,00 inhabitants, only 11.1% are Karelian. Russians are the vast majority. About 90,00 people speak Karelian (Uralic language close to Finnish) out of an ethnic group out of 145,00 in Russia. 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.

Australian Cattle Dog stamp from Tanzania

This stamp from the African country of Tanzania was issued in 1994 for the Year of the Dog. It comes as part of a large set of headstudies that gave us some of our more unusual breeds, and the Australian Cattle Dog certainly deserved to be among them.
Tanzania, the largest country in East Africa, is renowned for its magnificent wildlife, lakes, mountains, and scenery. The country boasts a wealth of natural attractions, including the famed Ngorongoro crater and the formidable Mount Kilimanjaro. It is also home to magnificent game reserves: Gombe Stream National Park, with its chimpanzee sanctuary; and the breathtaking plains of the Serengeti National Park, which hosts the annual migration of at least two million wildebeest with leopards and lions hot on their heels. Add to this the lovely beaches of the exotic islands of Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia.

A very nice rendition of the Australian Cattle dog issued by Turkmenistan.They have recently started issuing some very nice stamps including this one put out in 1999.
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.

Australian Cattle Dog Souvenir Sheets

Australian Cattle Dog stamp from Grenada

This lovely souvenir sheet is from Grenada in 1993. This Caribbean Island issued a set of dogs, but the nicest one was this Australian Cattle Dog on the Souvenir Sheet showing the Australian Opera House in the bay behind him. Other dogs in the set included the Afghan Hound, Alaskan Malamute, Rhodesian Ridgeback and St. Bernard. This Souvenir Sheet can be mounted, backed by gold leaf effect in a matching frame. On the right is a detail of the Souvenir Sheet above.

Kihnu is an island off the coast of Estonia, but its roots go back more strongly to Sweden. It is still rural and fairly well isolated. In 2001, they printed their first stamps depicting dogs. This great minisheet of Australian Cattle Dogs is interesting because if you look at it closely, you will see that the background image is a Boston Terrier.

This wonderful Souvenir Sheet was issued by Tanzania in 1996. The Australian Cattle Dog is in the lower right corner. I don't normally carry this sheet because it is expensive, but I can order it when somebody wants one. Although the ACD is not the center of the stamp, it is important for those who want a complete set.

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 every one. My, what an accomplishment. The Australian Cattle Dog is shown enlarged to the right.

Australian Cattle Dog Cards

This interesting trading card was issued by the Golden Fleece Company in Australia in 1972. Even though the card is over 25 years old, it is in perfect mint condition.
"Australian Kelpie"
Shown on the back of the card: "The Australian Kelpie is bred to work sheep and has existed as a pure bred dog for some 90 years. He has proved himself to be one of Australia's most valuable workers. It is said that one Kelpie does the work of seven men on sheep properties.
The Kelpie is an extremely keen, alert and clever dog with a very kind and loyal nature. He is easily trained and makes a good family pet."

* 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.
