I was reminded the other day about Poochie by my sister, who had one of these cute little cuddly toy dogs when she was a child. I’m not sure exactly what kind of breed of dog Poochie was meant to be, after all no dogs I’m aware of have pink fur, but I would guess a poodle would probably be the best match!
Poochie was a little white dog with pink ears and paws, as the TV advert for it was keen to point out. Funnily enough once my sister had reminded me of the toy we both remembered the jingle from the advert, which went like this:-
Lovely little Poochie
Oh your ears are pink and your paws are too
Everybody seems to fall in love with you
One other thing my sister remembered about her Poochie was that it had a paw print stamp on one of its legs, and that you could push down on its head and make its ears pop up. Â Looking at the image accompanying this post neither of these features would appear to be the case, but I think there was another version of it with a plastic body that had brushable ears, something like the mane on a My Little Pony.
Ultimately Poochie was one of those passing fad toys that is popular one minute and gone the next, but that didn’t stop the little pink and white puppy from appearing on the usual array of bedspreads and lunchboxes, and apparently (according to a quick search on eBay) a range of stampers. Â Poochie also got her own obligatory cartoon adventure, but I must admit that one passed both my sister and me by.
We sang “Oh your ears are pink and your paws are too, I don’t care coz you stink of poo…”
I’d forgotten the original words! We were classy kids…
I thought I am the only person that remembers Poochie dog! Because of Poochie, I became obsessed with pink dog stuffed animals as a child. I had a Poochie coin purse that I carried everywhere I went. My parents nicknamed me Poochie and made up songs about it when I cried, sometimes my brother and father will call me Poochie! I even named my yorkie-poo Poochie and I colored her ears pink… haha I realize that was a mistake!
IM 32 AND I WILL NEVER NEVER FORGET ONE CHRISTMAS MY MOM MADE ME GIVE MY POOCHIE TOY TO MY CUZ, I CRYED AND BEGGED HER, I DIDNT EVEN GET TO PLAY WITH IT, SHE PROMISED ME I WOULD GET ANOTHER ONE, I HAVENT GOTTEN ONE YET,

i have just been telling my son about poochie,i had 1 n loved it,he said it was cute
I remember having one when I lived in Ireland. I lost it when we moved country and got another one the following christmas. Loved this toy…I always thought the jingle was “His ears are pink and his paws are too, look at all the things we’ve got for you hey poochie…” My parents used to call me poochie as my mum used to put my hair in pigtails at the side of my head so i’d look like poochie…although I loved the toy I hated the pigtails, not a good look…
I loved Poochie Puppy so much! For my 5th birthday I was given a Poochie Puppy stamper and these two evil girls at my infant school stole it!! And they also my cabbage patch doll plastix figure
