Crossword Genius

Decor gingerly includes dog (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

corgi

'dog' is the definition.
(I know that corgi is a type of dog)

'decor gingerly includes' is the wordplay.
'includes' indicates a hidden word.
'CORGI' is hidden in the letters of 'decor gingerly'.

(Other definitions for corgi that I've seen before include "Welsh breed of short-legged dog" , "Little dog" , "Welsh breen of dog" , "pet in 9 [CARDIFF]?" , "Dog of Welsh breed, royal favourite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
