Captain Holt and Kevin own a corgi named what?

Captain Holt and Kevin own a corgi named Cheddar. The dog is one of Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s recurring comic characters and is treated by Holt and Kevin as a beloved member of their household.

Cheddar gets a major storyline in the season-three episode “Cheddar,” when Jake and Amy are supposed to look after him while Holt travels to Paris to see Kevin. Cheddar escapes after Boyle accidentally starts a fire, sending the precinct into an unusually frantic search. The episode turns the normally dignified Captain Holt into a worried dog owner.

Cheddar returns in later stories, including “Ransom,” where he is kidnapped and Holt and Kevin become determined to rescue him. The character’s name is a playful fit for the show’s cultured couple: Holt and Kevin’s relationship often mixes academic seriousness with very ordinary domestic concerns.

A common mix-up is confusing Cheddar with a different pet or with one of the fake options. Cheddar is specifically Holt and Kevin’s corgi, while the precinct’s other animals and pet-related jokes belong to separate storylines.
