Dog chew girl's thrown to save ball (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

welsh corgi

'dog' is the definition.
(Welsh corgi is an example)

'chew girl's thrown to save ball' is the wordplay.
'thrown' indicates an anagram.
'to save' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ball' becomes 'o'.
'chew'+'girls'='chewgirls'
'chewgirls' anagrammed gives 'welshcrgi'.
'welshcrgi' going around 'o' is 'WELSH CORGI'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
