I am pleased to lay before the National Assembly today, the draft Animal Welfare (Breeding of Dogs) (Wales) Regulations 2013\.


For a number of years there has been increasing public concern on the way that dogs are bred across Wales, especially in licensed premises. Research first developed in 2009 recognised that the existing rules for licensed dog breeding were not consistent with the Animal Welfare Act 2006\.  


We have listened very carefully to concerns expressed in our first and second consultations, as well as the views from our Task and Finish Group on Dog Breeding.  Detailed guidance has been developed and is set out as part of the Welsh Government’s expectation of the standards that are needed on licensed premises and which will be delivered by local authorities.


A number of requirements are detailed in the Guidance.  In the draft Regulations we have placed certain requirements on the number of dogs a person can look after and as a consequence of the second consultation, the summary of which has been published today, we have set it to 1 person to 20 dogs.  This excludes any puppies born to those animals. We have also set out that breeders must have socialisation and enhancement and enrichment programmes for dogs on licenced premises and that animals must be microchipped.    Breeders who already operate to high standards should easily be able to accommodate these changes and, in some cases, will already be doing this and more  

     

The Welsh Local Government Association and local authorities have already started to consider these new standards, but existing licensed breeders and those who may need to be licensed for the first time, will be able to consider them in more detail.  Consequently to ensure that we have a proper, timely and enforceable set of rules, I am proposing the commencement date, will be the 1 January 2014 to allow all local authorities to start setting up new licensing regimes.  


These Regulations have been developed as part of the Welsh Government’s Animal Health and Welfare Strategy and its Road Map on Dog Welfare about responsible ownership of dogs.  These draft Regulations will be debated on the 2nd July 2013\.

Pleser i mi yw cael gosod Rheoliadau Lles Anifeiliaid (Bridio Cŵn) 2013 drafft ger bron y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol heddiw.

Mae’r cyhoedd wedi bod yn mynegi eu gofidiau fwyfwy dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf ynghylch y ffordd y mae cŵn yn cael eu bridio yng Nghymru, yn enwedig ar safleoedd cofrestredig.  Mae gwaith ymchwil a ddatblygwyd gyntaf yn 2009 yn cydnabod nad yw’r rheolau ar gyfer trwyddedu safleoedd bridio cŵn yn gyson â Deddf Lles Anifeiliaid 2006\.

Rydym wedi gwrando’n ofalus iawn ar y pryderon a fynegwyd yn ein dau ymgynghoriad cyntaf yn ogystal ag ar farn y Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen ar Fridio Cŵn.  Mae canllaw manwl wedi’i lunio ac mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi’i nodi fel rhan o’r hyn y bydd yn ei ddisgwyl yn y safonau sydd eu hangen ar safle trwyddedig a’u darparu gan awdurdodau lleol.  

Rydym wedi gosod rhai gofynion ynghylch nifer y cŵn y caiff person ofalu amdanyn nhw ac o ganlyniad i’r ail ymgynghoriad, y cyhoeddir crynodeb ohono heddiw, rwyf wedi gosod terfyn o 1 person ar gyfer 20 ci.  Nid yw’r ffigurau’n cynnwys unrhyw genawon a enir.  Rydym wedi datgan hefyd bod yn rhaid i fridwyr ddarparu rhaglenni cymdeithasoli a chyfoethogi ar gyfer cŵn ar safleoedd trwyddedig a bod yn rhaid rhoi microsglodyn ar bob anifail.  Ceir nifer o fanylion eraill yng Nghanllaw Gweinidogion Cymru.  Mater rhwydd i fridwyr sydd eisoes yn cadw at safonau uchel fydd dygymod â’r newidiadau hyn. Mae rhai eisoes yn eu bodloni ac yn rhagori arnynt.

Mae Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru ac awdurdodau lleol eisoes wedi dechrau ystyried y safonau newydd hyn, ond bydd bridwyr trwyddedig a bridwyr sydd am gael eu cofrestru am y tro cyntaf yn cael eu hystyried yn fanylach.  Felly, i sicrhau bod gennym set priodol, amserol a gorfodadwy o reolau, rwy’n cynnig 1 Ionawr 2014 fel y dyddiad cychwyn er mwyn i awdurdodau lleol allu cael digon o amser i sefydlu trefniadau trwyddedu newydd.    

Mae’r Rheoliadau hyn wedi’u datblygu fel rhan o Strategaeth Iechyd a Lles Anifeiliaid Llywodraeth Cymru a’i Map Ffordd ar Les Cŵn ynghylch perchenogion cŵn cyfrifol.  Caiff y Rheoliadau drafft hyn eu trafod ar 2 Gorffennaf 2013\.
