I believe the answer is:

pom

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

This could be a double definition.

'toy dog' is the first definition.
'pom' can be an answer for 'dog' (short for Pomeranian). I'm not sure about the 'toy' bit.

'englishman down under?' is the second definition.
(Australian term for an English person)

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pom that I've seen before include "Britisher in Oz" , "Small dog (colloq.)" , "English person" , "Australian term for Englishman" , "Shortened name for a breed of dog" .)
