Famous Scandinavian dog (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

great dane

'dog' is the definition.
(I know that Great Dane is a type of dog)

'famous scandinavian' is the wordplay.
'famous' becomes 'great' (I've seen this in another clue).
'scandinavian' becomes 'dane' (person from Denmark).
'great'+'dane'='GREAT DANE'

(Other definitions for great dane that I've seen before include "hound" , "Large breed of dog" , "Big dog" , "Dog -- a tad green (anag)" , "Pet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
