The Cleavers never really had a "continuing" pet on the six seasons of Leave it to Beaver, rather they only had them on certain episodes. In one of the first episodes broadcast in season one (1957) the boys had a puppy called Captain Jack, named after an alligator they ordered from a comic book, which they had to give up once it got too big. Feeling sorry for the children, Ward and June surprised them at the end of the episode with the puppy. The puppy was never seen again. They also had a little dog named Poncho, which only appeared in the episode "Beaver and Poncho." Eddie Haskell had a dog named "Wolf" which appeared in a couple of episodes early on, but, when it wasn't needed, it was never heard from again. A good question for this website might be "Whatever HAPPENED to all the pets from Leave it to Beaver?" (Answer: They all disappeared into that TV void along with Minerva, the Cleaver's maid, and Chuck Cunningham from Happy Days...)

What was Mrs Cleavers' first name on Leave it to Beaver?

The female character (the mom) was June Cleaver and the male character (the dad) was Ward Cleaver. Beaver's real name in the TV show was Theodore, and he had a brother named Wally.


How did Theodore Cleaver get the name Beaver in the old TV show 'Leave It To Beaver'?

When Theodore was born, his brother, Wally (Tony Dow) tried to pronounce his new brother's name but ended up mouthing "Tweeter" which sounded like "Beaver" to his parents, Ward (Hugh Beaumont) & June (Barbara Billingsley) and so began the saga of Beaver Cleaver and the jokes about his name. Beaver's real name, Theodore was based on June's Aunt Martha's brother. Eddie Haskell (Ken Osmond), a wisecracking, insincere friend of teenager Wally Cleaver who called Beaver "Squirt" and "Creep" would greet him with taunts like "Hiya Beaver, you gnaw down any trees today?" In the last episode of the series, June tells Beaver "It kept coming out TWEEVER. In real life, one of the writers - Joe Connelly - had a shipmate in World War II called "The Beaver". and that's how he got the name, and from Beaver they got the name Cleaver. Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver, hated being called "Teddy".
