Dogs or people such as me (7)
I believe the answer is:
setters
'dogs' is the definition.
(setter is a kind of dog)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for setters that I've seen before include "people like me" , "They are expected to point" , "Crossword compilers" , "eg Scottish, Gordon and 18" , "Canine" .)
