Betting caller will bring spaniel (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

springer

'spaniel' is the definition.
(I know that springer is a type of spaniel)

'betting caller' is the wordplay.
'betting' becomes 'sp'.
'caller' becomes 'ringer' (someone ringing someone on the phone).
'sp'+'ringer'='SPRINGER'

'will bring' is the link.

(Other definitions for springer that I've seen before include "A spaniel; stone in arch" , "Shown [AT CRUFTS]" , "Game dog" , "Kind of spaniel" , "hound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
