Dog with older tiger, never excited (6,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golden retriever

'dog' is the definition.
(golden retriever is a kind of dog)

'older tiger never excited' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates anagramming the letters.
'older'+'tiger'+'never'='oldertigernever'
'oldertigernever' anagrammed gives 'GOLDEN-RETRIEVER'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for golden retriever that I've seen before include "Dog" , "pet?" , "canine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
