Yn 2012, cynhaliwyd ymgynghoriad ar egwyddorion polisi cyffredinol gosod microsglodion ar bob ci yng Nghymru. Roedd 84% o’r ymatebwyr o blaid gwneud microsglodynnu cŵn yn orfodol. Wrth i’r gwaith fynd rhagddo, mae rhai meysydd polisi penodol wedi cael eu datblygu gyda’r rhanddeiliaid allweddol, ond erbyn hyn mae angen rhoi sylw i agweddau eraill. O ganlyniad rwyf wedi penderfynu cynnal ymgynghoriad arall am wyth wythnos, a hynny cyn gynted ag y bo modd, er mwyn casglu barn ehangach am rai o’r elfennau penodol yr wyf yn cynnig eu cynnwys yn y Rheoliadau. Ym mhlith yr elfennau i’w hystyried y mae‘r trefniadau gorfodi, pwy sy’n gosod y microsglodion, a sut mae cofnodi’r microsglodynnu.
In 2012, a consultation exercise took place on the general policy principles of microchipping all dogs in Wales. 84% of respondents were supportive of introducing compulsory microchipping for dogs. As work has progressed, specific areas of the policy have been developed with key stakeholders and now certain aspects need further attention. I have therefore determined that a further eight week focused consultation exercise should take place as soon as possible. This is in order to take wider views on some of the specific elements that I am proposing to include in the Regulations.  These include enforcement, the matter of who actually undertakes the implantation of microchips, and how any information is recorded.
