I believe the answer is:

irish setter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one with long hair' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'fancy their sister' is the wordplay.
'fancy' indicates an anagram.
'their'+'sister'='theirsister'
'theirsister' with letters rearranged gives 'IRISH SETTER'.

Can you help me to learn more?
