Dog-dish regained, or thrown behind (9,9)

I believe the answer is:

rhodesian ridgeback

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

'dish regained or thrown behind' is the wordplay.
'thrown' is an anagram indicator.
'behind' becomes 'back' (similar in meaning).
'dish'+'regained'+'or'='dishregainedor'
'dishregainedor' anagrammed gives 'rhodesianridge'.
'rhodesianridge'+'back'='RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK'

(Another definition for rhodesian ridgeback that I've seen is " Large dog (from Zambia or Zimbabwe?)".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
