Dog has a drink taken outside, accordingly (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lhasa apso

'dog' is the definition.
(Lhasa apso is an example)

'has a drink taken outside accordingly' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'lap' (lapping is a kind of drinking**).
'taken outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'accordingly' becomes 'so' ('so' can be a synonym of 'accordingly').
'has'+'a'='hasa'
'hasa' inserted within 'lap' is 'lhasaap'.
'lhasaap'+'so'='LHASA APSO'

(Other definitions for lhasa apso that I've seen before include "Shown [AT CRUFTS]" , "Tibetan breed of dog - a salsa hop (anag)" , "small dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
