I have a couple questions about Dog the Bounty Hunter. The guy is a real character, and I love the show.
Is he a “Runner” and a Bail Bondsman?
Why doesn’t he carry a gun? What does he do if someone pulls a gun on him?
Are his wife’s breasts real?
What would you call his haircut?
Thanks
My understanding is yes, he owns his own bail bond place and then he runs you down when you don’t appear. Gives him a bit of incentive, it being his money and all.
It’s an uber-mullet combined with a comb-around. I think he thinks if he grows a lot of it in back you won’t notice how much there isn’t up top.
I wouldn’t dare hold an opinion on Beth’s ta-ta’s, as I wouldn’t want her to come to my house and put the hurt on me.
God do I love that show.
IIRC, he is a convicted felon who did his time.
That’ll be a skullet in 5 to 10.
Oh, wow, a new word! “Skullet”, hee hee.
The best part is that he obviously has to use product and tease it up in the back so as to hide the shiny head beneath. He and Beth can probably share, though.
Anybody seen the, um, I think it’s his brother? The guy with the braid? Anybody seen him hatless? Just curious.
I never watched the show, but I haven’t heard him say he owns a bonding business. As far as I knew, he was a freelance hunter who takes high dollar cases. If he is a bondsman, then he is that in addition to his freelance hunting.
Being a felon, he is not allowed to carry a firearm. If someone pulls out a gun, then he might be screwed. Even if he wasn’t a felon, he would have to be a licensed bondsman in a state that allows them to carry guns. When he goes to a different state, that state would also have to recognize his bondsman license and his authority to carry a firearm. Sometimes the state will not recognize one, sometimes neither. His licensing state, will only allow him to carry if he is chasing one of HIS bond jumpers. So he still wouldn’t be able to carry a gun when chasing other peoples’ runaways.
Also, he has caught people in other countries. They definitely wont let him carry - felon or not, licensed or not.
While I’m aware that he has at least in the past taken on high dollar freelance international cases, the people he runs down on the show are your garden variety bail jumpers. What makes them even dumber is that they’re in Hawaii, where there’s not a whole lot of “where” to run to. So it’s more Cops than anything else, only unlike on Cops you get attatched to the main characters.
I love it when he gets all weepy.
That depends on whether his lifeclock crystal is blinking red.
I forgot who but I picked it up from someone here who used the word when I called my brother’s 'doo a Ben Franklin.
Thanks guys.
I didn’t realize he was a convicted felon! Somehow I missed that part. 
He went in for murder, which he says he didn’t do (he made it pretty clear that he just didn’t do that particular thing that he got convicted for, not that he was “innocent” in any sense of the word). He got eighteen years for it, although I don’t know how much he actually served. He used to be a master-of-arms in a biker gang, I think. He always cries when he talks about getting out of the joint and trying to reunite with his son.
Of course, he also cries about puppies, God, and the beauty of nature.
He dosen’t carry a gun, but he maced a guy in one episode as part of a big sprawling melee. His son got a good dose of it too, as I recall.
Horrificly hysterical.
Love the show – especially love how his whole crew steps up all hard, weilding a can of mace that looks like a Vaudeville-era can of seltzer water.
I also look forward to the show when some tweaker actually calls his tough bluff and we have a Skullet family brawl for our viewing pleasure. I know there was a little scrum on one of the recent shows, but I want someone to really stand up to Dog’s cringe-inducing machismo on one of these eps and clock his ass good.
I’ve been watching this show as well as it is a guilty pleasure. That said, I’d also like to see someone actually stand up to him and say, er…no, not today Dog.
