Rough-sounding canine (5)
I believe the answer is:
husky
I believe this is a double definition.
'rough-sounding' is the first definition.
(as in a husky voice)
'canine' is the second definition.
(husky is a kind of dog)
(Other definitions for husky that I've seen before include "Slightly hoarse; dog" , "Sledge-pulling dog" , "sounding a little hoarse" , "Northern drag performer" , "hampered by frog?" .)
