Vanish, as will setter taking exercise? (2,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

go walkies

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'vanish' is the first definition.
(both can mean to go missing)

'as will setter taking exercise?' is the second definition.
(a setter is a type of dog which might 'go walkies')

(Other definitions for go walkies that I've seen before include "Become missing" , "Appear stolen or lost?" , "as may one man and his dog?" , "Be missing (or stolen)" , "Disappear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
