Compulsory dog microchipping
The Welsh Government says it is going ahead with plans to make it compulsory for all dogs here to be microchipped by 2015. The RSPCA has welcomed the move, but says it doesn't go far enough.

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. In addition, in order to tackle irresponsible ownership, I will also be introducing Regulations on licensed dog breeding later this year.
