Yes it is illegal in UK (thank goodness) with the exemption of working dogs.
This is taken from BBC website
MPs have voted to ban the docking of dogs' tails - but with an exemption for working dogs, such as those used by the police, Army or rescue services.
At the moment nearly 80,000 puppies in the UK have their tails removed each year - many for cosmetic reasons.
Critics say the practice is cruel, but supporters claim it is necessary for certain breeds to avoid injury.
The ban, with the exemption, passed by 476 votes to 63 during the report stage of the Animals Welfare Bill.
