Spotted dog (9)

I believe the answer is:

dalmatian

'spotted dog' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dalmatian that I've seen before include "Spotted dog" , "White-coated large dog with spots" , "one spotted" , "Spotty breed of dog" , "animal spotted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, The Independent, the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times, The Mirror and The Irish Times.
