Famous Scandinavians and their pets (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
great danes
'pets' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'famous scandinavians and' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'famous' could be 'great' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'great' is present in the answer.
'scandinavians' could be 'danes' (people from Denmark) and 'danes' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'their' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for great danes that I've seen before include "big 6 downs [PET]" , "Large dogs" , "Pets" , "Animals" .)
