Canines - Sunday Stamps II

I have one stamp with a wolf and one with a fox but by far the most of my canines are dogs.

Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates has two fine sheets, one for airmail and one for, presumably, ordinary post.

I have been unable to find any information on the dog breeds but I'm sure that you will recognise some.

For dogs from other countries please follow the links at http://seeitonapostcard.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/sunday-stamps-ii-77.html

Birds on Large Sunday Stamps

As I have used up all the stamps of unusual shapes I have had to resort to large stamps this week, all of which feature birds.

Sharjah - United Arab Emirates

There is no mistaking the woodpecker or the swan and its cygnets. However I had  to find out about one of the next two birds.

Hungary

The white stork on the left and an oriole at the right.

All these stamps are 4 cm wide but the Hungary stamps are slightly longer at 5.1/2 cm compared with 5 cm for the Sharjah stamps.

For more large or unusually shaped stamps please check out the links at Viridian's Sunday-stamps-148.
