Bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman and his wife, Beth Chapman, said they were unable to reach an agreement with A&E for a ninth season of "Dog The Bounty Hunter."

The Chapmans released the following statement:

"This has been a great ride for 8 seasons and we would not be where we are today but for our loyal and dedicated fans.  We are about to start a new chapter, and an announcement will be made sooner rather than later.  You can't keep a good Dog down."

The Chapmans said negotiations failed before A&E decided not to renew the series.
