Round sort of canine, a native of Polynesia? (8)

I believe the answer is:

oceanian

'native of polynesia?' is the definition.
(Polynesia is part of Oceania)

'round sort of canine a' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'sort of' is an anagram indicator.
'canine'+'a'='caninea'
'caninea' anagrammed gives 'ceanian'.
'o'+'ceanian'='OCEANIAN'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
