Dog for pheasant hunters (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

setter

(Other definitions for setter that I've seen before include "who is giving you problems right now?" , "It helps to locate game" , "Dog trained to scent game" , "Thematic type [DOG]" , "Hunting dog" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
