A Dalmation pudding (7,3)
I believe the answer is:
spotted dog
'pudding' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spotted dog that I've seen before include "Sweet" , "setter, for example" , "Pudding" , "description of a Dalmatian" .)
