Boxer Stamps
Uncropped Boxers
The world has gone crazy with new Boxer stamps and it couldn't happen to a nicer
breed. There are so many wonderful Boxer stamps that I have decided to separate
them into pages for "Uncropped" (this page) and
"Cropped", and for
fun, a separate page for "Puppies".
Boxers have a wonderful selection of both cards and stamps from around the world.
We have broken them into four pages:

This great stamp from Angola was issued in 2000.
Angola is in Africa near the Congo and on the Atlantic Coast. Portuguese is the
official language of the government and business, but only about 42 percent
of the population of 10 million
is literate, 56 percent of males and 28 percent of females. The current issues
facing the country are overuse of pastures and subsequent soil erosion
attributable to population pressures; desertification; deforestation of tropical
rain forest, in response to both international demand for tropical timber and
to domestic use as fuel, resulting in loss of biodiversity; soil erosion
contributing to water pollution and siltation of rivers and dams; inadequate
supplies of potable water. Angola is a developing country at war, and civil unrest
has been ongoing since the country's 1975 independence from Portugal.

Antigua and Barbuda are a pair of sister islands that were required to combine
together and become a nation when Great Britain "gave them their freedom." They are a
fascinating country with Antigua holding 60 percent of the land and 90 percent of the
population. Barbuda is a coral island that does not rise much above sea level. For the
Year of the Dog, in 1997, they issued a series of dog stamps consisting of two pages
with 12 stamps each, one page of small breeds and one page of large breeds. This
lovely Boxer was among them.

Buriatia is in southern Siberia near Lake Baykal on the Mongolian borderso most of
the Buryat people are Buddhists.
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 this stamp
by Buriatia. This is a second topical stamp from a local Russian government that honors our Boxers
in a unique and lovely way. This set was issued in 1997.

Dagestan is one of the republics of the former USSR. Located between the Caspian
Sea on the East and Caucasus mountains on the West, it is probably one of the
most attractive places in that part of the globe. Its area is close to that
of Scotland. With population of just above 2 million people, Dagestan is
the homeland to over 36 different nationalities, and each one of those
nationalities has its own unique language. Such combination of languages,
cultures, types of landscape and customs makes it a one of a kind place
in the world. These days, however, Dagestan is going through the times
of heavy unrest, both political and ethnical.
This Boxer stamp from Dagestan was issued in 1997.

This wonderful stamp was issued with a set of eight dogs in 1984. They
seem to be available in cycles. They were very common in the late 80's when I first
saw them, then were gone, then a couple of sets have finally surfaced again.

Grenada is described as a spice island, since 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,
specially 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. Grenada has two dependencies in the
Grenadines chain, Carriacou
and Petit (often spelt Petite) Martinique.
The island nation of Grenada issued a most remarkable set of stamps in
1997. Each dog
is paired with a famous tourist site from its country of origin. In the
case of the Boxer, it is Traitor's Gate in the U.K.

This stamp of the lovely Boxer was issued by Hakasia in 2001.
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.

This stamp was put out in 2001.
The Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria is a federal subject of the
Russian Federation located in the northern Caucasus mountains,
with plains in the northern part. The Kabardian lands have been
under Russian protectorate since 1557. In 1739 Kabardia became
independent and 1774 became part of the Russian empire. Balkaria
was annexed in 1827. In 1944, Stalin accused the Balkars of
collaborating with Nazi Germany and deported the entire population.
The Territory was renamed the Kabardin ASSR until 1957, when
the Balkar population was allowed to return and its name was restored.

Kalmykia is a republic within the Russian Federation. The Kalmyks
settled the Volga River region in the seventeenth century. A Mongol people, they were
originally Buddhist in faith. Annexed to Russian in 1771, a Kalmyk Autonomous Province
was created by the Bolsheviks in 1920. This was abolished during the Second World War,
when, in common with many other ethnic minorities, the Kalmyks were deemed to
have displayed insufficient enthusiasm for fighting for Communism. The customary mass
deportations followed. An Autonomous Republic was re-established in 1958.
This lovely stamp was issued in 1999.

This stamp from Karelia was put out 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.

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.

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. The mineral resources of Komi Republic are represented by
combustible minerals, oil and gas, metal ores, minerals and balneological
resources.
Komi issued this lovely Boxer stamp in 1999.

Each year, Monaco issues a new stamp to commemorate the International Show held there.
This one is a little different, since it was issued for the Boxer and Doberman
specialties held in 1998.
Economic development was spurred in the late 19th century with a railroad
linkup to France and the opening of a casino. Since then, the principality's
mild climate, splendid scenery, and gambling facilities have made
Monaco world famous as a tourist and recreation center. Monaco is
located in western Europe, bordering the Mediterranean Sea on the
southern coast of France, near the border of Italy. It is about three
times the size of The Mall in Washington DC. It has no natural
resources and no natural hazards. It is the second smallest independent
state in the world (after Holy See); almost entirely urban with a
population of about 31,987. Its official language is French, with
English, Italian and Monegasque. It is a constitutional monarchy.
Its independence was in 1419 (beginning of the rule by the
House of Grimaldi). The Chief of State: Prince RAINIER III (since
9 May 1949); Heir Apparent Prince ALBERT Alexandre Louis Pierre, son
of the Monarch (born 14 March 1958). There are no elections, the monarchy
is hereditary. Monaco does not have an embassy in the US.

Mozambique is 111 years old. The country came into existence in
its present form as a result of an Anglo-Portuguese treaty of
May 1891 and gained its independence from Portugal in 1975. The
Mozambique created in 1891 was not a piece of random map drawing
but an attempt to make sense of the history of the region in a
single colonial state. In doing so, it accepted a part of the
African coast, which was established in the sixteenth century
when the Portuguese divided their command in eastern Africa
between the states of Mozambique and Mombassa.
This lovely Boxer was issued by Mozambique in 1979.

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.
Nagaland put out only this one dog set as far as I know, back in
the 1970's. I don't have any information of who the dog is in the photograph.

This stamp from Romania was issued in 1981 along with several other breeds, always
with both a full body image and a headstudy. It was an interesting combination.

A wonderful artistic version of the Boxer from Sao Tome E Principle.
Unfortunatley I do not have the name of the artist.
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. The climate is tropical; hot humid; one rainy
season (October to May).

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.

Present day Benin was the site of Dahomey, a prominant West African
kingdom that rose in the 15th century. The territory became a French
Colony in 1872 and achieved independence on Autust 1, 1960, as the
Republic of Benin. A succession of military Governments ended in 1972
with the rise to powere of Mathieu KEREKOU and the establishment of a
government based on Marxist-Leninist principles. A move to representative
government began in 1989. Two years later, free elections ushered in
former Prime Minister Nicephor SOGLO as presdent, marking the first
successful transfer of power in Africa from a dictatorship to a
democracy. KEREKOU was returned to power by elections held in 1996
and 2001, though some irregularities were alleged.
The climate is
tropical, hot, humid in south; semiarid in north; mostly flat
terrain with some hills and low mountains; they have some envronmental

wildlife. The official capital is Porto-Novo; Cotonou is the seat
of government.

This Boxer puppy is certainly outstanding on this souvenir sheet even tho
the large headstudy is of a Cocker Spaniel puppy. What a wonderful
portrait of a deserving breed.
The 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. In contrast to Senegal,
a former French colony, The Gambia was colonized by Britain and gained its
Independence on February 18, 1965.

I know that this souvenir sheet is not based on a Boxer, but the Boxer set would not be
complete without it being listed. The Boxer is in the border (see detail to the left) along with a Poodle, an
Afghan, a Dalmation, a Puli, and probably a Beagle. The Souvenir Sheet was issued
by Kiribati, which is a group of islands in the Pacific ocean, inlcuding Christmas
Island. It was issued in 1994 for the Year of the Dog.

Sierra Leone issued this awesome puppy Boxer souvenir sheet.
Sierra Leone was a British colony to which
freed slaves returned in the late 1700's.
After Independence in 1961, a small political elite,
who exclusively profited from
the lucrative trade in diamonds, dominated successive
governments. Little of
this national income trickled down to benefit
the rest of the population. After much
fighting and insurrection the UN was finally
convinced to send a peacekeeping force that
was in the news for many months.

This unique Souvenir Sheet is from Tanzania.
It was just issued in 2001, and
is somewhat expensive. It is well done and a credit to each and every
breed shown. The picture shown on the left is a
detail of the boxer on the left side of the souvenir sheet.
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.

Togolaise is located in Western Africa, bordering the Bight of Benin,
between Benin and Ghana. It is slightly smaller than West Virginia.
The majority of the population depends on subsistance agriculture.
Coffee, cotton and cocoa are the major export crops. The capital,
Lome, is a regional commercial and banking center, although its
position relative to neighboring countries has been eroded in recent
years because of political and economic difficulties. Fish is an
important part of the Togolese diet, but Togo does not have a
developed fishing industry. The primary goal of the U.S. government
in Togo is to promote respect for democracy and the rule of law.

This remarkable stamp from the Russian province of Touva, not only managed to put 40
breeds all on one souvenir sheet, but managed to run a perforation line through nearly
every dog breed.
On the right a detail from the souvenir sheet above. One of the few breeds without
a line through it.
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.
This is also kind of a periferal stamp for the breed, but necessary
for a full collection.

* 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.
