She became famous in the early 2000s when she became a main cast member of the reality television series Dog the Bounty Hunter, where she appeared alongside her husband, famous bounty hunter and bail bondsman, Duane (“The Dog”) Chapman.
Being a bounty hunter and working with her husband is what made this reality star so rich. Beth and Duane’s relationship began in the early 2000s. Her soon-to-be husband gained national popularity in June 2003 when he captured Andrew Luster, the Max Factor cosmetic heir that fled the United States. The following year, Beth and Duane signed with A+E Networks and Trifecta Entertainment and Media for the creation of their own reality series Dog the Bounty Hunter.
