According to TMZ, Duane Chapman (his birth name) started feeling chest pain and was taken from his home in Colorado to a hospital.
A rep for Chapman told the website: ”I can confirm Dog is under doctor’s care and is resting comfortably. Thank you for all of your well wishes – keep ‘em coming.”
More details of Chapman’s condition weren’t immediately available.
The Independent has contacted Chapman’s team for more information.
Chapman appeared on A&E’s Dog the Bounty Hunter, a show that documented his career as a specialist in recovering bail fugitives, from 2004 to 2012.
A spin-off, Dog and Beth: On the Run, aired from 2013 to 2015, featuring the TV star and his wife Beth Chapman.
Ms Chapman died in June this year of complications from cancer.
She appears posthumously alongside her husband in Dog’s Most Wanted, another spin-off that premiered earlier this month on WGN America.
