Since the economy in Russia since the break up of the Soviet Union has such high inflation, 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 Bull Terrier shown above in the middle is one of these "Russian Overprints" from Komi. 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. On the left is the stamp that was ultimately issued with the Bull Terrier image from the overprint, put out by Abkhazia. On the right is the same image issued by Chuvasia.
Komi is another Russian local state in the extreme north part of Russia.
Abkhazia is another of the local states. 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. There is a second pair below for Ingushetia.

Azerbaijan is on the west side of the Caspian Sea, next to Armenia and just north of Iran. Its tragic civil war has kept it in the news for some time. The wonderful stamp above was issued in 1996.

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 issues such as inadequate supplies of potable water, and poaching of wildlife. The official capital is Porto-Novo; Cotonou is the seat of government.

Bernera is in the Western Isles of Scotland. It has a population of about 300 that is sustained mostly by lobster fishing. Stamps issued by the islands off the edge of Scotland are typically used to post mail from the island to the mainland of Scotland. You cannot mail letters back to the island with them, mail outside of Scotland, or mail within Scotland itself. Issuing unique stamps is a source of income for many of the Scottish islands. This nifty Bull Terrier was issued in the 1970's.

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 that were both issued by Buriatia -- the one on the left in 1997 and the one on the right in 2001.

Chechnya has been in the news the last year or so as Moscow has systematically bombed and targeted the country in an effort to maintain control. It is near Dagestan, which is also experiencing Russian aggression. This stamp was issued in 2000.
Bull Terrier Chechnya Stamp... $4.95 each

Daavar issued this colorful stamp in 1984. Davaar is an island off the edge of Scotland. There seem to be three of four of these whose major source of income is issuing topical stamps for sales around the world.
Bull Terrier Davaar, Scotland Stamp... $4.95 each

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 stamp was issued in 1999.

For several years, this was our main stamp for Bull Terriers. It was issued in 1977 by Equitorial Guinea in Africa.
Equatorial Guinea is located in Western Africa bordering the Bight of Biafra, between Cameroon and Gabon. The area is slightly smaller than Maryland. The climate is tropical, always hot and humid. The terrain: coastal plains rise to interior hills; islands are volcanic. Natural resources consist of petroleum, timber, small unexploited deposits of gold, manganese, uranium. Natural hazards; violent windstorms and flash floods.

Fujeira is one of the seven Emirates that combined in 1974 to form the United Arab Emirates. This stamp was produced by Fujeira in 2000. The name Fujeira refers to the spring of water beneath one of the mountains.
Bull Terrier Fujeira Stamp... $4.95 each

Gagauzia is one of those local Russian governments that has issued topical stamps in the hopes of raising currency without offering the associated services. The idea is to have people buy the stamps as collectables rather than actually mail letters with them. This one is particularly nice and should be available for some time.
Bull Terrier Gagauzia Stamp... $4.95 each

This stamp was issued by Grunay in 1982. Grunay is a Scottish local post in Skeoris, Shetland Island.

This nice Bull Terrier stamp was produced by Grenada & the Grenadines in 1995.
Grenada is described as a spice sland, for 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.

Guinea is partial heir to the series of west African empires that, at their height before the arrival of the Europeans, cast significant political and commercial influence over many peoples from Guinea's Atlantic coast to the southern edge of the Sahara. The empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai spanned the period from about the 10th to the 15th centuries. French military penetration into the area began in the mid-19th century. Guinea became an independent republic in 1958. The adorable puppy issued in 1996 by Guinea will grow up to be the noble dog that you will notice in the shadow of the background.

This is the second of our Russian Overprints.
Ingushetia is one of the 21 Russian republics, which are the administrative units with the greatest amount of autonomy within the Russian Federation. It was part of a joint Chechen-Ingush autonomous republic from 1936 until 1991, when Chechnya declared independence and the Ingush separated from the republic.
Kalmykia is also 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 stamp was issued in 1999.

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, 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 now. 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.

Mordovia issued both of the above stamps, the one on the left in 2000 and the one on the right in 1998.
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 these great Bull Terriers.

Niger is a poor, landlocked Sub-Saharan nation. Two-thirds of Niger is desert with much of the of the northeastern part of the country being uninhabitable. The remaining third of the country is savannah, suitable mainly for raising livestock and limited agriculture. The country is subject to the problems of overgrazing; soil erosion; deforestation; desertification; wildlife populations (such as elephant, hippopotamus, giraffe, and lion) threatened because of poaching and habitat destruction. This wonderful stamp was issued as part of a set of dog stamps in 2000.

These rare scans are the only overprints that were available in past years, in this case 1993. There was a limited number released to the outside world and then they were all gone. I am not aware of any sets still available, as they are absolute collector's items now. Be sure to get a sets of the new overprints. As far as I know, there were 100 of each of the new overprints available and the small number of those that I was able to get will be gone very quickly.
As of this writing, I have one red, a blue, an orange and a tan copy of the headstudy. I have three red, one blue and a tan copy of the full body overprint.

Sharjah is the third largest of the seven states, which forms the United Arab Emirates that became fully independent in 1971. From that time, it has attracted attention -- first because of its oil reserves and its strategic location but now in addition to those, because of its program of economic and social development. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, the UAE has witnessed the creation of a truly modern welfare state. Education, health care and social services are available to all citizens. This darling puppy stamp was issued in 2000, the first time that Sharjah has issued dogs stamps since 1972.

Tatarstan issued this lovely Bull Terrier in 2001.

Turkmenistan issued this stamp in 1998. 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.

Uganda achieved independence from the UK in 1962. The dictorial regime of Idi AMIN (1971-1979) was responsible for the deaths of some Bull Terrier

300,000 opponents; Guerilla war and human rights abuses under Milton OBOTE (1980-85) claimed another 100,000 lives. During the 1990's the government promulgated non-party presidential and legislative elections. Uganda is located in eastern Africa, west of Kenya. The climate is tropical; generally rainy with two dry seasons (December-February, June to August). Uganda is landlocked; fertile, well-watered country with many lakes and rivers.

* We can take visa/mc/disc or a check, but they are first come first served, so let me know if you are interested.

* We do have discounts if you want to buy more than one.

* We have a couple of copies of some of these cards, and since they are much more fun when you have a "set", we would be happy to give a discount for multiple purchases. This can make a set of interesting breed cards quite reasonable. 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.
