Dog is joined by his wife and business partner, Beth Smith Chapman, his sons Leland, Duane Lee, associate Tim Chapman (no relation, although the show's intro has "Dog's brother" under his name and Dog sometimes refers to Tim as his "brother"), and his daughter 'Baby' Lyssa Chapman. In season one, the team was joined by Dog's 'nephew' Justin Bihag. In addition to Hawaii episodes, episodes have been filmed in Dog Chapman's home state of Colorado and the city of San Francisco.

Production of and airing of the show was halted by A&E on November 2, 2007, after Dog Chapman was recorded uttering racist remarks. After Chapman's public repentance and vow to make amends, and after a show of support from fans and from black leaders including Roy Innis, on February 19, 2008, A&E announced that the show would return.[1] Reruns of Dog The Bounty Hunter, along with never before seen episodes from season 4, began airing on June 25, 2008. New episodes (the show's fifth season) began airing on July 16, 2008 and Season 6 starts in February 2009

Dog the Bounty Hunter is a reality television series starring Duane Chapman. The show is aired on A&E Networks in USA and on Virgin 1 and Bravo in the UK on Fox8 and on Foxtel (Pay TV) in Australia, on Prime in New Zealand and on RTL 2 in Germany.

The program spun off from Chapman's appearance in the show A&E Network's Take This Job, a program about people with unusual occupations. Both shows are produced for A&E by Hybrid Films, a New York-based production company. The concept of the program was to follow a family of bounty hunters as they capture fugitives.

The television show follows the family's bail bond business, Da Kine Bail Bonds, which has locations in Oahu, in Kona on the Big Island, and also on the mainland in Denver, Colorado.

The television series led to an autobiographical book You Can Run But You Can't Hide, which chronicles his years before becoming a bounty hunter and also some of his more infamous hunts, including the more controversial hunt that took him and his team to Mexico to capture serial rapist Andrew Luster.
