"Hound has rare distinguishing mark on it" (6)

The 4th letter is 'G' so I'm thinking 'beagle' but I'm not sure how the rest of the clue points to that - an anagram of beagle is glebae which is 'The fleshy, spore-bearing inner mass of a puffball' but does that count as a distinguishing mark?

Help would be much appreciated! :)

To hound is to BADGER
A Badger has a distinctive mark on its forehead

Ah, okay! Thanks!

les40 has the right answer but the wrong explanation. badge is the distinguishing mark plus r for rare.
