Morphology

poochie = pooch (transparent) = pooch + ie

This is a straightforward affectionate diminutive built from 'pooch' plus '-ie'.

Etymology

Poochie comes from pooch ('dog') plus the small or cute ending -ie, like in doggie. So it sounds tiny and friendly, which is why it fits a child's toy dog.
