Modern ban on getting stray dog (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dobermann

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

'modern ban on getting stray' is the wordplay.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'getting stray' is an anagram indicator.
'modern'+'ban'='modernban'
'modernban' anagrammed gives 'DOBERMANN'.

(Other definitions for dobermann that I've seen before include "Dog breeder" , "Breed of dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
