Crossword Genius

Dog suffering modern ban (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dobermann

'dog' is the definition.
(I know that Dobermann is a type of dog)

'suffering modern ban' is the wordplay.
'suffering' is an anagram indicator.
'modern'+'ban'='modernban'
'modernban' anagrammed gives 'DOBERMANN'.

(Other definitions for dobermann that I've seen before include "Dog breeder" , "Breed of dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
