Eddie was played by two dogs during the run: first by Moose, and then by Moose's son Enzo, who first appeared as a stunt double. Eddie is known for responding to Martin and Daphne with human-like understanding, but often seems to taunt Frasier.
The scrappy dog who played Eddie on TV's "Frasier" has died. The 16-year-old Jack Russell terrier, whose real name was Moose, passed away of old age Thursday at the Los Angeles home of TV and movie dog trainer Mathilde De Cagny Halberg, Halberg told People magazine.
Fans of Frasier, the popular Cheers classic television spinoff series, know well that Kelsey Grammer's Frasier Crane character did not get along with his father's Jack Russell Terrier pup, Eddie. Even from the series premiere, Grammer's character makes this clear.

The cast of Frasier were notably close. Grammer calls Pierce the brother he never had. Along with the late John Mahoney, who played their dad, Martin, Pierce is godfather to Leeves's son.

Unlike many other series where characters' pregnancies were written in to accommodate the actress becoming pregnant in real life, this was not the case with Roz. Hers was purely a storyline invention, Peri Gilpin was not pregnant in real life.
Moose won the role on Frasier after only six months of training. Moose had the ability to fix Kelsey Grammer with a long hard stare; this became a running sight gag on the show. When Moose had to lick his co-stars, however, sardine oil was applied upon the actors' faces.

Grammer told TV Guide that Eddie - the Jack Russell dog - was recast during the show's run. Dog-actor Moose played the white and tan animal from 1993 to 2000 before his son Enzo took over until the show ended in 2004.

Maris Crane is Niles Crane's wife for much of the series, though she is never fully seen onscreen (much like Norm Peterson's wife, Vera, on Cheers). She is the most notable of the show's never-seen characters, and often the subject of many jokes. Her family is not revealed on the series.

By the end of the season, Roz gives birth to a girl, whom she names Alice.
