Belgian Malinois Stamps
(Groenendael) The first Belgian Sheepdog page that I put up had all three varieties on the same page. Since that time, the world has apparently discovered the power of this wonderful breed and they have issued a number of great stamps for each variety. They are now broken into three pages. You can find the others at:
Belgian Tervuren Stamps
and Belgian Sheepdog Stamps.

Adjaria is an Autonomous Republic within Georgia, of the former Soviet Union. It is one of the most beautiful parts, situated to the southwest of the Georgian Republic. This lovely headstudy was issued in 1999.

It seems most appropriate that Belgium should issue a lovely set of Belgian dog stamps. I addition to the three Belgian Sheepdog varieties, this set also included the Bouvier de Flaunders and was issued in 1986.
Belgium is located in western Europe, bordering the North Sea, between France and the Netherlands. It is about the size of Maryland. The climate is temperate; mild winters, cool summers, rainy, humid, and cloudy. The terrain is flat coastal plains in northwest, central rolling hills, rugged mountains of Ardennes Forest in southeast. They have a couple of natural resources; coal and natural gas. The environment is exposed to intense pressures from human activities; urbanization, dense transportation network, industry intense animal breeding and crop cultivation. The people are 75% Roman Catholic. The official languages; Dutch 60%, French 40%.

This lovely stamp from Hakasia was issued in 2000. Notice that the same photo was used for one of the Yakutia stamps below. Still, it is necesary if one is to have a complete set.
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.

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 Belgian Malinois shown above is one of these "Russian Overprints" from Marjel. 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.

Mordovia is a local Russian state as well. In 1996, they issued a group of stamps with working dogs on them. This one is listed on the stamp sources as simply a Belgian Sheepdog, but it is pretty obviously a Malinois.
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 lovely Malinois.

This stamp was issued in 2001 by Udmurtia.
Udmurtia is approximately midway between Moscow to the Urals. Its land is a hilly wooden plain with numerous swamps, springs and rivers. Its climate is considered a bit too wet and not healthy. 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 Belgian Malinois.

Most people know Yakutia from the game of Risk along with Kamchatka and Irikutz. Actually, Yakutia is the largest region in Siberia, known as Sasha-Yakutia.

Zaire is in Africa and in 1997, they put out a lovely set of headstudies, including this one, listed as a "Berger Belge". These are reasonably common, but from an expensive set.

Landlocked in West Africa, straddling the Sahara, Mali is one of the poorest and most remote nations of the world. I tried to figure out what these five breeds have in common, but they are not necessarily water rescue dogs, so I am not sure of the significance, but any time that we get a nice Melanois stamp, it is worth it.

Belgian Melanois stamp from Turkmenistan

This Souvenir Sheet was issued in 2001 by 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.

* 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.
