pom

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'toy dog' is the first definition.
'pom' can be an answer for 'dog' (short for Pomeranian). I'm unsure of the 'toy' bit.

'englishman abroad' is the second definition.
(Australian informal term)

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pom that I've seen before include "Australian slang for British migrant" , "best friend?" , "Englishman in Australia" , "Britisher in Oz" , "Shortened name for a breed of dog" .)
