Crossword Genius

Dog in street going mad (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

setter

'dog' is the definition.
(setter is a kind of dog)

'street going mad' is the wordplay.
'going mad' is an anagram indicator.
'street' with letters rearranged gives 'SETTER'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for setter that I've seen before include "who is giving you problems right now?" , "Mike of this parish, say" , "cement, perhaps?" , "One barking" , "stream of cattle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
