Daughter in Dorset resort gets dog (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poodle

'dog' is the definition.
(breed of dog)

'daughter in dorset resort' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'dorset resort' becomes 'poole' (I've seen this before).
'd' put into 'poole' is 'POODLE'.

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for poodle that I've seen before include "Pet dog with clipped curly coat" , "Pet dog - lackey" , "Lapdog" , "5 [MANS BEST FRIEND]" , "Curly-coated dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
