Having reported earlier about the numerous racist comments Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman has made in the past, his eldest son has defended him.

Having referred to the girlfriend of one of his other sons as a “whore” and a “n*****”, Chapman has been blasted by the media, and has subsequently had his reality show Bounty Hunter suspended.

Dog’s eldest son Christopher Chapman has been quick to stick up for his father though.

He told TMZ: "My dad has never been like that. I've heard him say the 'N' word once or twice, but never to where he's been a racist person at all.

"He's got a lot of friends who are black; a lot of friends who are Mexican, plus he's half Indian himself... He's not a racist person."
