Hound's blanket (6)

I believe the answer is:

afghan

This clue is a double definition.

'hound's' is the first definition.
(Afghan hound is an example)

'blanket' is the second definition.
(afghan is a kind of blanket)

(Other definitions for afghan that I've seen before include "Type of hunting dog" , "Type of hound" , "Eg, native of Kabul; blanket, shawl" , "tongue" , "Type of coat made from sheepskin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
