Dad's hunch cured dog (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dachshund

'dog' is the definition.
(I know that Dachshund is a type of dog)

'dad's hunch cured' is the wordplay.
'cured' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dads'+'hunch'='dadshunch'
'dadshunch' is an anagram of 'DACHSHUND'.

(Other definitions for dachshund that I've seen before include "low-down dog" , "Dad's hunch about the dog" , "Long-bodied, short-legged breed of dog" , "Sausage dog" , "Long, low dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
