Tackling 'irresponsible' dog owners

I am pleased to announce that Wales will be making regulations to ensure that all dogs are microchipped by March 2015, creating a proper link between a dog and its owner and helping to encourage responsible dog ownership.

– Alun Davies, Minister for Natural Resources and Food
