Crossword compilers -- we're barking? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

setters

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'crossword compilers' is the first definition.
(people who set crosswords)

'we're barking?' is the second definition.
(setter is a type of dog)

(Other definitions for setters that I've seen before include "They are expected to point" , "Crossword compilers" , "Canine" , "people like me" , "eg Scottish, Gordon and 18" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
