Poodle, with CGI, might make one! (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

police dog

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

'one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'poodle with cgi might make' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'might make' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters might make if rearranged).
'poodle' after 'cgi' is 'cgipoodle'.
'cgipoodle' is an anagram of 'POLICE DOG'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for police dog that I've seen before include "Drug hunter" , "maybe I do a lot of sniffing" , "one taking lead in war on crime" , "busy helper" , "Working animal" .)
