The film was released on December 12, 2006 and received generally negative reviews, with critics calling it a pale imitation of its predecessor.

They see a line of trucks bringing the county fair to town, and Copper is mesmerized by the sound of dogs singing together in an old school bus with "The Singin' Strays" painted on the side.

The band has five members: Dixie (a Saluki), Cash (a Spanish Hound), Granny Rose, and twin brothers Waylon and Floyd (Bloodhounds).

The chase leads to widespread mayhem in the fair, and the Singin' Strays' performance is sabotaged right in front of the talent scout Mr. Bickerstaff.

Along the way, Tweed narrowly avoids being hit by the talent scout's car, and Bickerstaff's hat flies off his head and lands on Tod.

Hoping to atone for his doings, Tod gives Bickerstaff's hat to Copper, who uses it to track down the talent scout at a local diner.

"[3] Joe Leydon of Variety gave a positive review, noting the sequel is "brighter and lighter" than its predecessor in that it "emphasizes slapstick and tomfoolery, not life lessons and consciousness-raising".
