The Jack Russell Terrier who played Eddie on Frasier, first Moose and later his son Enzo, belonged to his trainer, Mathilde de Cagny (or Halberg), who adopted Moose from a Florida family and later trained both dogs to star in the hit show. Moose and Enzo had distinct personalities, but both were known for being challenging yet talented actors who shared the iconic role of Eddie.
Eddie is the Jack Russell Terrier owned by Martin Crane. He is capable of understanding many commands and human language to a certain degree, for instance on display when someone spells out B-A-T-H and Eddie scarpers to avoid it.
We read years later that people on the show didn't like Eddie (or his offspring, apparently) and it 100% made sense to us. Moose liked his trainer and no one else. Ignored/wouldn't listen to/wouldn't look for affection from any of the cast, exactly like our dog (named Duke) was with the rest of us.
Eddie, the dog on "Frasier", made $10,000 per episode. His real name was Moose, and he died in 2006 after making more than $3.2 million.
Moose played Eddie from the 1993 premiere until 2000, when his son Enzo took over. Moose, who also appeared in the movie My Dog Skip, spent his last 6½ years in retirement with the trainer's family, and died of natural causes at home at age 15 on June 22, 2006.

Grammer clarified in a January 2025 interview that the two costars never had a real argument, and that he had been drinking a lot while making Cheers. Danson told him once, “I'm kind of mad at you that sometimes you don't show up ready to go.”
Kelsey Grammer quickly became one of the highest-paid actors on television. By the final two seasons of Frasier, the X-Men 3 star's salary reportedly reached $US1. 6 million ($A2. 5 million) per episode, setting a record for TV actors at the time.
The first actor to earn a guaranteed $1 million for a single film was Elizabeth Taylor for Cleopatra (1963), though she earned much more with profit-sharing; however, Mary Pickford signed the first million-dollar contract in 1916 (over several films), and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle was the first with a $1 million annual guarantee in 1919. Marlon Brando also broke the $1 million barrier for a single movie with Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) before Taylor.

Jack Russells can be great family dogs for active families with older children who understand how to interact with dogs, as their high energy, intelligence, and playful nature are a good match for adventurous households, but their strong prey drive and potential for nipping make them less ideal for very young kids or homes with small pets, requiring significant training, socialization, and supervision.
Moose: Net Worth $3.2 Million
The Jack Russell terrier earned $10,000 per episode for his role as Eddie in "Frasier." It has been rumored that Moose received more fan mail than any of his human counterparts on the long-running sitcom. When Moose died in 2006, he had amassed a fortune of $3.2 million.

Several iconic TV stars earned $1 million or more per episode, most famously the casts of Friends (Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer) and The Big Bang Theory (Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco), who negotiated equal $1 million salaries for later seasons.

The "heartbreak breed" refers primarily to the Great Dane, nicknamed this due to their affectionate nature combined with a relatively short lifespan (around 7-10 years) and susceptibility to serious heart conditions like dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), making losing them particularly difficult for their devoted owners. Other giant breeds like Irish Wolfhounds, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and Saint Bernards also face significant health challenges, including cancer and heart disease, often earning them similar sentiments from owners.
