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.
You will find the enlaged detail on the left.

This wonderful souvenir sheet was issued by Equitorial Guinea in honor of Don Quixote. It shows his side-kick Sancho Panza and is riding his horse, Rosenante, with his greyhound dog in the lower left corner.

A new souvenir sheet from Guinea, issued in 2000. The cut out to the right is a detail of the man in the rear of the picture holding a greyhound that is standing still.
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.

Guyana is a little country, which lies on the North Eastern shoulder of South America near the equator. Said to be the legendary El Dorado, Guyana is the only English-speaking country located in South America. The name 'Guyana' is derived from an Amerindian word meaning; land of many waters - and indeed it is a land of many waters- with three mighty rivers and many tributaries, creeks and waterfalls.

Diana the Huntress

This is one of my favorite stamps for composition, atmosphere and sheer beauty. It is from the original by Italian painter, Paolo Veronese. The stamp is Russian and is a souvenir sheet that was issued September 26, 1978. The actual "stamp" is just the perforated area around Diana's head. The rest is not part of the stamp that is used to mail things. The stamp is 3 inches by 4 1/2 inches.

This whimsical souvenir sheet was issued by Micronesia in 2000. Each copy is numbered (this one is 1941.)
To the right is a detail of the Greyhounds shown playing in the upper right corner.

Another new souvenir sheet is this one issued by Sierra Leone in 2000. To the right is the detail of the Greyhound running in the bottom left corner.
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.

Somalia, also called the Somali 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 minisheet was put out in 1999 by St Vincent and the Grenadines to commemorate the 400th Anniversary of Anthony van Dyck (1599 - 1641). The Greyhound in the left picture is the detail of the middle stamp in the first row of the souvenir sheet. It comes from the portrait of James Stuart, Duke of Lennox and Richmond done c. 1634.
The Greyhound on the right is a detail of the lower right hand corner showing the portrait of Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford done in 1632-33.

This souvenir sheet was issued by St Vincent and the Grenadines in 2000 to commemorate the Prado Museum in Spain. The painting is The Judgement of Solomon by Peter Paul Rubens. The Greyhound is in the lower center. Notice the dark dog in the lower right corner that resembles a Bernese Mountain Dog.

Our next souvenir sheet is from Zambia. It was actually issued in 1988, but is so seldom seen that it is nearly a collector's item. It was put out in honor of "Traditional Zambian Stories: Luchele nganga"

People's Republic of China


This is not as old as the others, but equally hard to find. It was issued by the Republic of China and you have to look close to see the Sighthound in the bottom right hand corner of the right stamp. There are so many nice parts to this souvenir sheet that I have pulled some enlargements for your enjoyment. Since this is not listed as a "dog stamp", I have had to go through other sources to obtain one. I believe that this was issued in 1998 as "Kuan-Tao Painting of Emperor Shih-Tzu on Hunt" If you are interested, I will try to find another one.

* 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.
