'dog's' is the definition.
(English foxhound is an example)

'tongue going over badger beneath stump' is the wordplay.
'tongue' becomes 'English' (tongue can mean a language).
'going over' says to put letters next to each other.
'badger beneath' becomes 'hound' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'beneath' bit.).
'stump' becomes 'fox' (both can mean to baffle).
'hound' put after 'fox' is 'foxhound'.
'english'+'foxhound'='ENGLISH FOXHOUND'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for english foxhound that I've seen is " Dog".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
