Half of chop thrown in, is one tempting for dog? (7)
I believe the answer is:
lurcher
'dog?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lurcher that I've seen before include "moving suddenly and unsteadily?" , "Crossbred dog similar to a greyhound" , "that might rock and roll, apparently" , "Hunting breed" , "A greyhound cross" .)
