Smooth-haired hound (6)
I believe the answer is:
basset
'smooth-haired hound' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for basset that I've seen before include "Hound (named Fred?)" , "Hound with short legs and long ears" , "Low, smooth-haired breed of hound" , "Beasts (anag.)" , "Short-legged hound that hunts hares" .)
