Scooby-Doo for one: Hamlet for another? (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

great dane

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

'scooby-doo for one' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'hamlet for another?' is the wordplay.
'hamlet' becomes 'dane' (Hamlet is a famous Dane).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'another?' becomes 'great' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'dane' after 'great' is 'GREAT DANE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for great dane that I've seen before include "Large breed of dog" , "Dog -- a tad green (anag)" , "Pet" , "Big dog" , "Large 11" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
