Air Buddies is a 2006 American sports comedy film directed by Robert Vince. It is the sixth film in the Air Bud series and the first in the direct-to-video spin-off series Air Buddies, which follows the life of a lonely teenager and his dog who has the uncanny ability to play every sport.
The film changes the primary focus of the series from Buddy, an adult golden retriever, to his puppies. It also radically alters the character of the series by making virtually all of the animals speak.
Air Buddies was released by Buena Vista Home Entertainment on December 12, 2006. It is the final film of both Don Knotts and Patrick Cranshaw, released after their deaths, and dedicated to their memories.
