Crossword compiler's dog? (6)

I believe the answer is:

setter

I believe this is a double definition.

'crossword compiler's' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dog?' is the second definition.
(setter is a kind of dog)

(Other definitions for setter that I've seen before include "Late evening sun is a" , "Puzzle composer" , "stream of cattle" , "Everyman" , "Long-haired dog breed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
