Airline ships foreign dog (5,7)
I believe the answer is:
irish spaniel
'dog' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'airline ships foreign' is the wordplay.
'foreign' indicates an anagram (foreign order of the letters).
'airline'+'ships'='airlineships'
'airlineships' with letters rearranged gives 'IRISH SPANIEL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
