Fawns with a doe? It's leaping around (7)

toadies

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

'fawns' is the definition.
('toady' can be a synonym of 'fawn')

'a doe? it's leaping around' is the wordplay.
'a doe? it's' can be anagrammed to 'TOADIES'.
Though, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toadies that I've seen before include "They suck up" , "Slimy amphibious types" , "Bootlickers" , "Flatterers, sycophants" , "Yes-men" .)
