Long-eared hound (6)

I believe the answer is:

beagle

(Other definitions for beagle that I've seen before include "Small, sturdy breed of hound" , "HMS - was Darwin's ship; hunting dog" , "Darwin voyaged in this ship" , "Short-haired dog" , "Hunting hound" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Washington Post, The New York Times and the LA Times.
