I believe the answer is:

corgi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dog? yes' is the definition.
'corgi' can be an answer for 'dog?' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'yes' bit.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for corgi that I've seen before include "One of the Queen's dogs?" , "Little dog" , "Pre-2018 royal dog" , "Royal canine" , "Royal pet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
