Experimental facility with artist drawing dog (11)
I believe the answer is:
labradoodle
'dog' is the definition.
(I know that Labradoodle is a type of dog)
'experimental facility with artist drawing' is the wordplay.
'experimental facility' becomes 'lab' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'drawing' becomes 'doodle' (I've seen this before).
'lab'+'ra'+'doodle'='LABRADOODLE'
(Another definition for labradoodle that I've seen is " Cross".)
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
