Hello, sorry I hadn't seen this post earlier but I'm inclined to believe it's from '78 or '79 because of its trademark image.

Take a look at the bottom dog; In this earlier stamp, notice his forelimb is raised in the air behind his head and is not in a hold as compared to the other stamp where his forelimbs are planted firmly and it does have a hold. There are other differences but these are the most obvious. I haven't found it in my books but the clue is when the stamp shows up on the 20th Anniversary five blade trappers where they re-used stamps from '78-'98. *There was also a standing dog with the words 'Bull Terrier' underneath that I think may have come from that same time frame. The fighting dogs trademark from '80 onwards was the dog with 3 legs planted with a hold.
