Duane Dog Chapman Height
Duane Dog Chapman's height is 5 ft 7 in (170 cm)

US Reality tv Guy, Dog Bounty Hunter. I've never heard of this guy, but he is supposed to look taller with special boots? There's a mugshot link in comments below, but it's hard to see how accurate this may be. I will put him back to this 5ft 7, did he say this on his show once?

Leland is like 5'5.5, he's really short apparently. Dog probably really is just 5'7-5'7.5 in his barefeet and about 5'10 in those boots that he can barely run in!
heather says on 23/Aug/09
Dog definately downplays his height. He looks like 6ft with his boots so I'd say hes about 5'9". Hes just one of those guys who really doesn't care about his height and downplays for god knows what other reasons. When you see him arresting criminals that are like 5'6" hes a good 5-6 inches bigger then them. I'd say Leland is 5'6" 1/2 or somethin like that.
RisingForce says on 12/Aug/09
Oddly I saw a show where Dog was after a guy who was described as "5-foot-10, 200" and Dog then says "My size, just a little bigger".
Clay says on 15/Jul/09
Dog just looks pretty big because he does hit 5'10 in those boots, and he's a pretty huge man at 200 ibs.
Brandon says on 24/Jun/09
Wow, I thought the Dog was pretty big on TV. I'm 15 and 6'1. And I weigh 210. I didnt think i was that much bigger than him. And Leland must be a midget compared to me. lol
RisingForce says on 27/May/09
5'7" is right. Obviously he looks taller than that, that's the whole point of wearing 3 inch boots!

He doesn't care about his height YET he has custom made cowboy boots to REACH 5'10"???? Yeah, those are the actions of someone who doesn't care about their height...haha
Danimal says on 16/May/09
HE HAS SAID HE IS 5'7" and in his custom made boots he said he's 5'10". Why do people GUESS when it has come out of his VERY MOUTH on the show??

Those are the custom boots everyone is mentioning. I wonder if you could shove some lifts in the boots aswell. I believe him when he says 5' 7 - those boots look like they have 3 - 4 inch heels.

HoneyBee says on 16/Feb/09
Who cares how tall Dog is or any of the rest of the family?I think the whole family is totally awesome.Dog is an outstanding man and a hero.I think the USA goverment should have back Dog and the family up they did a job our country couldn't do with out hurting the Mexican goverment feeling and causeing problems,so get over it.Beth is a super Mom and a great wife weither she 5 foot 5 or 6 foot 2 she total woman and makes the Dog happy.As his sons the just gooding men and they need a break and if Leland a player with his looks he can be.I just don't like people messing with Dog's Family.
Jack says on 8/Dec/08
I met Leland on a flight last week from the Big Island to Honolulu where he sat in front of me. He is a muscular kid but has a small bone structure.
Tony says on 26/Nov/08
Barry says on 22/Oct/08
Leland is 5'5'' and Beth is around 5'4'', she is a usually same height as him on tv but she wears huge heels all the time. Dog looks a lot bigger because he's well built. Dog says on the show ''im 5'7 but with these cowboy boots im 5'10''... Ive just measured myself, im near 5'8 actually and a good pair of boots makes me look 5'9 or 5'10 maybe. His cowboy boot heels must be pretty big.

Barry i saw the same show where he said he said someone passed him up looking for dog cause he was in tennis shoes and that he was 5'7 and 5'10 in cowboy boots i believe they were at a hotel on the show when he said that
Ruk says on 22/Oct/08
Direst quote from "The Dog" on one of his episodes, "I'm nothing special 5 feet 7 and 200 pounds dripping wet."

Elrod says on 26/Sep/08
I cannot believe Dog is only 5' 7".I always thought he would be about 6' 2".I guess it was because of his powerful physique that gave me that impression but oh well...
brad says on 29/Aug/08
Leland is 5'5'' 1/2... i fought him in the ultimate fighting rumble in the jungle 2 in lahaina and he was listed as that... and our weight class was 145lbs... im sure he walks around at 150-60lbs... Ive seen his brother lately and hes been workin out.... 6'1'' is about right but bigger than 220 now.. i say about 250lbs...
ozzfest says on 28/Aug/08
I know Dog is 5'7" because he stated that on one of the episodes. Duane Lee on one episode told his dad he was 6'1" and 220 lbs. Baby Lyssa has stated she's 5'1" and 110 lbs. Beth, umm....its hard to tell. She really looks about Baby Lyssa's height because she's so big around..but i'd say she's 5'4" or 5'5" based on standing next to Dog. Leeland I'm pretty sure is close to 5'6". Tim, I really don't know!
Holly says on 14/Jul/08
I have a police photo of'em on wich you can see their height...but I am not able to post it here - no idea why.
JD says on 6/Jul/08
i always thought dog was about 5'11 to 6'0 and just looked a bit shorter because he's real wide, i guess he is 5'7 though!!
glenn says on 13/Mar/08
you would too if you had his job.
sven says on 12/Mar/08
glenn why this guy wears boots so big?Have serious height issue?
Little Boy says on 12/Mar/08
What more evidence do you need other than hearing it from Dog himself & clearly showing everyone his true height? He said he is 5'7 & he looks around that mark! Quit saying he's wrong & that he's really 5'8! That's just stupid for you to say! Oh & Beth sure as hell isn't 5'7! She's more like 5'5!
glenn says on 25/Jan/08
finally saw this guy last week.seemed 5-9.5 with his special boots.so yeah,5-7.
Barry says on 24/Jan/08
Yeah he said it on his show once. He said im 5'7'' but these boots make me look taller while he was buying cowboy boots in Denver. Im 5'7'' myself and usually with my Nike sneakers i wear i reach 5'9''
gton says on 22/Nov/07
thnks Danimal Leelands 5-5 and a half man he look pretty solid 4 his height , they quite muscular men lol
Danimal says on 22/Nov/07
B-rad says on 22/May/07
Alright everybody listen : Duane Lee Jr. : 6'1'' 220 bls, Leland Chapman : 5'5 1/2'' 155 lbs, Duane 'DOG' Chapman : 5'7'' 200 lbs, Beth Chapman : 5'4'' 210 lbs (Leland, Tim and DOg height from mugshots) (Beth height, research) (Duane Lee's height, episode)

Seems about right.
Danimal says on 22/Nov/07
I know that Duane has said on his show that he is 5'7" and had special custom made boots that give him 3", bringing him up to 5'10" GTON, he has more than one son on the show.
gton says on 22/Nov/07
How talls is his son on the show ?? ne answer ?
Dan says on 24/Oct/07
Well, he's quite beefy. I'd say he's definitely taller - having said that, he's not majorly taller than his wife and she's definitely not tall.
dave says on 1/Oct/07
He looks like he's standing at 5'11 or 6'0 in his boots, but keep in mind his hairstyle probably adds another 2 inches!
Leon says on 14/Sep/07
The show rocks. Have you ever noticed, however, that Dog never runs after fleeing fugitives, he just shouts at Leland and Tim to "get 'em!" and when he tries running he looks like he's got a bit of cramp. That has to be because of the lifts he's wearing. You can walk fine in them but not sprint. Still, I'll give him nearly 5'8" barefoot. He seems very modest and I think he might play down his height a tiny bit to seem closer to his son, Leland. And before people shout me down, think about it: He wouldn't have even mentioned that he wore lifts if he wanted people to assume he was 5'11" or 6', which he looks being such a strong bloke. We would've been non the wiser.
Tatiana says on 12/Sep/07
It doesn't matter how tall/short The Leland is. He's not afraid of standing up to anyone. In my eyes he is a sure fine specimen and his height suits him. The show isn't on in the UK anymore :( so i have to rely on the inyernet to get my daily fix. I should act my age really....I'm a thirty year old teacher....just can't help it!!
cat says on 29/Aug/07
baby lyssa is around 5'3. she used to come into my old job, and she's not much taller than me. beth is around the same, little shorter...and leland is probably 5'6 or 5'7. i've seen him in person, walking around and stuff. and girls, i know you're all infatuated with him and stuff, but he's a player!!! (i know the dirt)
Georgio says on 18/Aug/07
How tall is Tim aka Young Blood? He looks about Dog's height in the show, maybe a bit taller but he doesn't wear cowboy boots like Dog. So would that make him around 5'10" barefoot?
jay says on 4/Aug/07
He said himself that he is 5'7 and buys special cowboy boots with 4inch heels, the camera followed him one episode to go pick up his boots and thats when he said it. Im actually suprised he did look tall to me in the show but i guess its the boots. But he has said himself on his show, he is 5'7.
luckylady says on 27/Jul/07
i can confirm that leland chapman is 5'7" tall. I saw a mug shot on a website of him standing in front of the height chart in prison where they take your photo, and he was 5'7", guarenteed
KaMiKo says on 26/Jul/07
Met Dog at Star Market in Kalihi. I am 5'11, 185lbs and I was looking at the top of his head. He was not wearing his boots, and he looked to be about 3-4 inches shorter than me and 20 lbs bigger than me.
Corinne says on 24/Jun/07
Duane Lee isn't a Jr. Dog's middle name is Wesley, which was the name of his father and his oldest son. In the episode "It's Good to Be Home", Chapman claims that he is only 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m) and his cowboy boots raise his stature to 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m). At least he's honest about it.
B-rad says on 22/May/07
Alright everybody listen : Duane Lee Jr. : 6'1'' 220 bls, Leland Chapman : 5'5 1/2'' 155 lbs, Duane 'DOG' Chapman : 5'7'' 200 lbs, Beth Chapman : 5'4'' 210 lbs (Leland, Tim and DOg height from mugshots) (Beth height, research) (Duane Lee's height, episode)
KingNick says on 15/May/07
Arcane wrote this a while back, Dog's boots make him 5'10" but he himself said he's 5'7". He said something along the lines that he wears the big boots to appear more intimidating on his hunts.
bronson says on 12/May/07
i saw dis guy in eva one time he looked 5'10"but he wears those boots so i think he is jus 5'7"
glenn says on 5/Apr/07
yeah,funny i knew friends that sadly became a junkies and were 5-9ish and claimed i was taller.they claimed 5-7.weird.
immoral_animal says on 4/Apr/07
I've noticed alot of these repentant, born-again types with checkered, criminal pasts have an odd way of conspicuously playing themselves down about stuff like height, among other things.

I had a friend who's dad was a former crook/drug-user/born-again Christian who would always say stuff like "I'm just a skinny little 5'6" old man!" when the guy was obviously about 5'8" tall and maybe 180 pounds. It's a weird reverse-exageration thing they do, and Dog strikes me as exactly one of those guys.

I notice he talks with a corny high-pitched, baby-talk voice on the show sometimes, when it's obvious the guy's natural speaking voice is pretty deep. He likes to play himself down with people.

The "I'm only 5-foot-7!" and baby-talk thing is some kind of repentance thing for his years of being a thuggish crook. He's prolly, like 5'8.5" or something like that.
Vince says on 28/Mar/07
Wow, he is surprisingly short. I always thought he was this huge guy (at least 6 foot). I guess his solidly-built physique left me with the impression that he was taller than he actually was.
Anonymous says on 21/Mar/07
baby lyssa is 5'1 and 108lbs. she said so on a show when comparing herself to a fugitive
LANA says on 13/Mar/07
Does anyone know Baby Lyssa and Beth height??
tank says on 11/Mar/07
i'll have to admit i started watching the show a few months ago. dog isn't as TALL as i thought he was but he's definitely thick and burly. i'd say he's about 5'8" give or take .5 inch. looks strong too, esp. for his age. they showed him working out with some monster weight on a show i saw a while back. leland looks like he's 5'6"-5'7". i know that's taller than what a lot of people say but when dog and leland are both barefoot there really isn't that much difference. i mean height difference, lol. there's probably at least a 70-80lb weight difference, lol.
Anonymous says on 11/Mar/07
In one show while talking to a girl they had just arrested Lyssa said something like "we're almost the exact same size, 5'1.." then said a weight which I don't remember...So, Leland is not much taller than her...He looks about 5'4...
KASSI says on 24/Feb/07
Hi!! Does anyone REALLY know how tall Leland is??? What about Baby Lyssa?? I think she is shorter than Beth maybe more of Leland's height??
Anonymous says on 19/Dec/06
Just a few nights ago on the show Dog again stated he was 5'7 while giving a speech to people staying at a halfway house. "I ain't nothin' special - 5'7 200 pounds soaking wet..."
Adam says on 4/Dec/06
He is roughtly 5' 7'... i've got a 5'9 friend who met him
Peter says on 5/Oct/06
On last nights show they picked up a girl who was 5'9 and next to Dog she didn't look much different, maybe an inch or so shorter. Next to Leland she was a giant, he was a good 4-5 inches shorter. She was just wearing sneakers. Everyone says that Leland is 5'6, I'm not so sure about that. I'd say under 5'5.
Dagger says on 17/Sep/06
HelloKitty, why do you continue to say that Dog was not being accurate about his height when he stated it at 5'7 on the show?
kristen says on 16/Sep/06
dog is 5'7 and criss is 5'10 dog is shorter thats so wired criss looks shorter than dog lol bye dog grow tall lol aloha
HelloKitty says on 15/Sep/06
I met the Duane and Leland. Duane wears average cowboy boots which makes him 5'10-5'11, no lifts. He was downplaying his height when he said he was 5'7, he is 5'8.5-5'9 barefoot. The Dog was arrested in Hawaii today for arresting the bad rapist guy in Mexico a few years ago. The Dog and his bounty hunters are HEROES.
Arcane says on 3/Sep/06
Dog wears lifts in his boots giving him at the least 3 inches in height over his natural 5'7" tall. Saw the episode where he was having a new pair being made. So, if he and Criss -look- the same height in those scenes it means Criss is at the least 5'10" tall.
Kelly says on 3/Sep/06
I saw what Jean wrote. It doesn't bother me that he's short. I'm only 4 feet tall so that's perfect for me! I also want to thank the people on this site, not a lot of bad language.
Jean says on 30/Aug/06
My husband and I met them last year in Honolulu Intl Airport. My husband is 5'11 and Dog was slightly shorter 5'10 with his cowboy boots on. He has said he is 5'7 without the boots, no man is going to say he is shorter than he actually is. Big guy, muscular, wide wing span. Nice man, very friendly, charismatic. Can't say the same for his wife. Tim was slightly taller than my husband 6' - 6'1, very friendly. Now the young girls are going to hate me but his son Leland is a small man, sorry but it's the truth. I'm 5'3 and he didn't have more than 2" on me, tops, and skinny. He is a skinny little guy. Doesn't look anything like his dad. Very quiet stood in the background. They were with an entourage of men, all big guys.
Peter says on 29/Aug/06
It doesn't make much sence for Dog to say he's 5'7 when he's 5'9. What would the point be? I doubt Leland is 5'7, he looks smaller when you compare him to the criminals they bring in which they often give a height listing for. I'd say he's about 5'5 but with the bounty boots maybe 5'6.5...
HelloKitty says on 25/Aug/06
I've met Leland, he's 5'7, with his boots 5'8. His father Dog did say he was 5'7 on his show, but really he is 5'8-5'9 barefoot, with boots Dog is 5'10-5'11.
john says on 24/Aug/06
Dog Chapman is 5'7 he wares lifts in his boots, yes he did mention that on his show his boots makes him look 5'10
Dagger says on 5/Aug/06
That should read "Tim and Leland"..not "Time and Leland"
Dagger says on 3/Aug/06
Nope, thats not the one. It was his pic and then to the left on the same page had his stats listed out. Height was there as "5-06". I think at the bottom of it was also pics of Time and Leland, must have been from the Mexico arrest a few years back. I searched the web but I couldn't find it again. Guess until I find it there ain't much more to say except that Dog said himself that he's 5'7...
Dagger says on 26/Jul/06
There is a mug shot on the web somewhere, I coudn't find it last I looked, but its different than the usual one standing by the height chart, it had his height listed as 5'6. If I can find it again I'll post the link.
Glenn says on 19/Jul/06
Correct F1.my friend met him.he is 5-7 or 5-8 barefoot.
F1 says on 18/Jul/06
I met Dog in downtown Denver about a month ago. He was between 5'9" and 5'10" with his big boots on. Had shoulders as wide as a truck, though. Tim was also there. He looked about 6'1", if you want to use that for comparison. I would say his footwear was mighty suspicious.
15and5'8.5 says on 11/Jul/06
dang criss angel's only 5'7''-5'8''? well come to think of it he does have some suspicious lookin shoes
Glenn says on 11/Jul/06
Dog and criss angel are both 5-7 or 5-8.I saw my friends pics with them.
Anonymous says on 10/Jul/06
Man... I just saw 2 episodes and was fascinated by the show. Most important thing: I was so wrong! Dog at 5'7''? A few minutes ago I guessed him at between 5'11'' and 6'1'' and Leland at nothing under 5'6''. He's so skinny! MAybe Leland is 5'4'' and 110lbs, Dog 5'7'' 220 or more... man, I was so wrong!
Peter says on 9/Jul/06
You got to c&p that link to see the mug shot. Doesn't it seem like those height numbers are a bit off or something though?...Maybe he's not standing really close to the wall, looks like they might be back a ways from his position. I'd say he's at the 66 or 67 mark though.
Dru says on 5/Jun/06
I've met Criss Angel several times and he's definitely taller than me (I'm 5'6"). Criss is 6'0".

"Look at that Criss Angel & Dog picture, they're both barely taller than Dog's short fat wife. I'd say they're both 5'7""
Dagger says on 16/May/06
Who said Leland is 5'6?...In one show they picked up a woman who was said on the show to be 4'11, and when she walked past Leland -he was standing in a doorway leading her in the cop shop- he was not 5'6. He may be that tall with the boots, but I don't believe he's that tall without. Maybe 5'4-5'5. I think on one show Dog said something like "Leland's a small boy...but he can punch"...I think he's pretty small.
trueheight says on 10/May/06
Naw, I think justin is like 6'2. i stand by my assertion that Dog is 5'8. I've met Leland and he looked 5'7(about 5'8.5 wearing work boots). If you own a late model suburban like me, its quite easy to judge these guy's heights based on how much they go in and outta their cars and such
k says on 7/May/06
he said in one of the shows he gets custom boots, without them he is 5'7 and with them he is 5'10
Stretch says on 21/Mar/06
I saw him walking through the HNL airport. You have to like a guy with such an ugly/friendly weather-beaten face and female blonde hair extensions hanging off a surprisingly balding head, who can't be over a greatly "lift assisted" 5'9". Without those black boots he couldn't be over 5'7". Does he arrest Munchkins?
Jo says on 19/Mar/06
His son, Leland is 5'6 or 5'6, and he's not much taller than that. His nephew, Justing is 6'0 and TOWERING over him. Beth is 5'6 or 5'7 which is pretty average in itself.
trueheight says on 13/Mar/06
NO way, I'd say a smidge under 5'8, i got to meet leland, his son, who is a strong 5'7(with an enormous wingspan). and Dog can easily look 6ft in his 4in heels
trueheight says on 9/Feb/06
btw, exact height: "I'm (only) five-seven" -Dog

not surprising, one of his sons is only 5'6, but very muscular
trueheight says on 9/Feb/06
Rob, Yes not only "say", he more like "declared" as being only 5'7" and even takes us to his shoemaker who makes him special boots. You really need to check out the episode and the whole series, which is probably the best doc-drama ever created; its truly a great show. And Dog is truly a "man" for not making his height a big deal and trying to hide this fact from the audience. He does this so he is more "intimidating" to his victims
dougfm says on 7/Jan/06
Look at that Criss Angel & Dog picture, they're both barely taller than Dog's short fat wife. I'd say they're both 5'7"
J. says on 19/Nov/05
On the show, he specifically said "I'm only 5'7" but WITH THESE boots I'm about 5'10". This is exactly what came out of his mouth on episode of the A&E show. So, 5'7" he is.
MD says on 19/Nov/05
Yes, my mom loves this show, and isn't really interested in height. But I remember her telling me how he revealed that the reason he wears such large boots is because he's relatively short. As a bounty hunter he has to look impossing.
