Bird and dog - a wrong mix (9)

I believe the answer is:

currawong

'bird' is the definition.
(currawong is a kind of bird)

'dog a wrong mix' is the wordplay.
'dog' becomes 'cur' (a cur is an aggressive or scruffy dog).
'mix' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'wrong'='awrong'
'awrong' with letters rearranged gives 'rawong'.
'cur'+'rawong'='CURRAWONG'

'and' is the link.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
