Crossword Genius

Raffish rogue, cool entering car, shows breeding (4,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fish farming

'breeding' is the definition.
(breeding fish)

'raffish rogue cool entering car' is the wordplay.
'rogue' indicates an anagram (letters go rogue).
'cool' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean fashionable or cool).
'entering' is an insertion indicator.
'car' becomes 'mg'.
'in' put within 'mg' is 'ming'.
'raffish' with letters rearranged gives 'fishfar'.
'fishfar'+'ming'='FISH-FARMING'

'shows' is the link.
