Crossword Genius

Dog resembling a pony? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheltie

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'dog' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a pony?' is the second definition.
(informal term for Shetland pony)

'resembling' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sheltie that I've seen before include "dog or pony" , "Type of 17 -- the lies (anag)" , "Shetland pony" , "Sheepdog" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
