Dog has tongue in evening sun (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

english setter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dog' is the definition.
(English setter is an example)

'tongue in evening sun' is the wordplay.
'tongue in' becomes 'english' (tongue can mean a language. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'evening sun' becomes 'setter' (the sun sets in the evening).
'english'+'setter'='ENGLISH SETTER'

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for english setter that I've seen before include "canine" , "Breed of dog" , "One in white coat spotted" , "Dog -- serenest light (anag)" , "man responsible for language exam" .)
