Less inclined to run with the dog (6)
I believe the answer is:
setter
'dog' is the definition.
(setter is a type of dog)
'less inclined to run with the' is the wordplay.
'less inclined' becomes 'sete' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'sete'+'r'='seter'
'seter' placed around 't' is 'SETTER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for setter that I've seen before include "Everyman" , "Breed of dog - crossword compiler" , "Bird trained to scent game" , "Dog trained to scent game" , "I may pose a problem" .)
