Enlarged snouts worried canine experts (6,8)
I believe the answer is:
dental surgeons
'canine experts' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'enlarged snouts worried' is the wordplay.
'worried' indicates an anagram.
'enlarged'+'snouts'='enlargedsnouts'
'enlargedsnouts' is an anagram of 'DENTAL SURGEONS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for dental surgeons that I've seen is " fillers?".)
