Dog one of those compiling clues for the UK papers

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)

'one of those compiling clues for the uk papers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'li' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'li' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
