By April this year, ALL dogs have to be microchipped by law, and the registered address up to date. The Dogs Trust is I believe microchipping free of charge but I dont know if thats for everyone or not.

I wonder how they will check this out . Patrols round the streets with their scanners lol?

While checking we have 'poo bags' no doubt. Good idea though so lost dogs can be reunited with their owners

Glad that 'breeders' need to register pups as initial keepers. Will it cut down on back-street breeding? I hope so.

I know Misty is microchipped,I got hers done for free at the kennels because I got her from there but she's still chipped to my old address,need to change that but I've lost the paperwork.Think it's got my mobile on,I'll have to ask vet next time we go to scan her.Hopefully it will cut out the back yard breeders
