Do poles trouble dogs? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poodles

'dogs?' is the definition.
(poodle is a kind of dog)

'do poles trouble' is the wordplay.
'trouble' is an anagram indicator.
'do'+'poles'='dopoles'
'dopoles' with letters rearranged gives 'POODLES'.

(Other definitions for poodles that I've seen before include "Dogs in old pose" , "Curly-coated dogs" , "Lackeys" .)
