Dogs get miners right out (7)

I believe the answer is:

collies

'dogs' is the definition.
(collie is a kind of dog)

'miners right out' is the wordplay.
'miners' becomes 'colliers' (collier is a kind of miner).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'out' suggests deleting specific letters.
'colliers' with 'r' taken out is 'COLLIES'.

'get' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
