Lackey — curly-haired dog (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poodle

This clue is a double definition.

'lackey' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'curly-haired dog' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for poodle that I've seen before include "toady?" , "Curly-haired breed of dog" , "Dog (seen in a parlour?)" , "Pet dog; obsequious chap" , "Pet dog with clipped curly coat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
