Looped round dog (6)

I believe the answer is:

poodle

'dog' is the definition.
(I know that poodle is a type of dog)

'looped round' is the wordplay.
'round' is an anagram indicator.
'looped' is an anagram of 'POODLE'.

(Other definitions for poodle that I've seen before include "Small dog" , "Servile person; dog" , "Pet dog with clipped curly coat" , "Lapdog" , "Pet dog - lackey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
