Story[]
Taffy and her siblings are owned by Barbie, Skipper, Stacie and Chelsea. Taffy is Barbie's puppy. When the sisters go to an island so Chelsea can compete in a dance competition, they take the puppies with them. On the plane, the puppies get into bags as they prepare for landing.
When they land, an island hostess gives the puppies flowers to wear on their ears. Taffy says that Honey's flower is awesome, and Honey says that Taffy that her pink flower matches her collar. Stacie says the puppies are cute, and Skipper takes a photo of them. Barbie says they are adorable.
Barbie rents a golf cart for transportation, and the puppies get excited to ride in it facing backwards. The puppies look at the beach, and Taffy thinks the ocean is a pool. The puppies get excited. The sisters arrive at the Dancing Horse Festival at Banyan Tree Park, and Barbie lets the puppies out to play.
Honey asks if all horses can dance, but Taffy doesn't know because she's never seen horses before. The puppies copy the horses, and a butterfly lands on Honey's nose. Honey sneezes and the butterfly flies away. They follow it into a horse trailer. The puppies get excited and call the trailer a playground.
Taffy and the puppies play until they are interrupted by Archibald, a show dog who says it is his trailer. Archibald thinks the puppies are loud, but cute. He chats with them and tells them about himself. The horses return to the horse trailer and make friends with the puppies. The puppies ask Spirit to teach them her moves, and she says they are adorable. Spirit and Beauty's mother, Silver, asks how the puppies got into the trailer. Beauty asks if the puppies can stay and play, but Silver says the puppies have to go back to the girls. Before the puppies can leave, the horse trailer starts to get driven away by Vivian and Marco, the horse trainers.
Taffy says they can't leave without the girls, but DJ says it's too fast for them to jump out. Taffy wonders how Barbie will sleep without her. Archibald tells the puppies not to worry, and says the girls will find them tomorrow. He gives the puppies treats, and they settle down to go to sleep. The puppies say good night to Archibald. The animals sleep in the trailer while Marco and Vivian use a tent. They camp at White Sands Campground, a beach where people can surf and snorkel.
The next day, Honey asks if it's tomorrow yet. Archibald says no, it's today. The puppies get confused as Archibald explains what he means. Vivian and Marco discover the puppies are in the trailer, and say they will take care of them until the can reunite with the girls. The puppies bark happily. Vivian and Marco give Taffy and the other puppies bacon and eggs for breakfast. Beauty says Spirit is going to take her for a run, and they invite the puppies along. The puppies are too slow to keep up with the horses, so Taffy suggests they do puppy eyes at Marco, who is riding Silver. Marco gives the puppies a ride.
The puppies play and hula dance. Rookie appears wearing a snorkelling mask. Taffy asks what he's doing, and he says he wants to go surfing. Taffy gets nervous that she will forget how to swim, but Honey tells her to remember what their mother taught them. Taffy races them to the water. The puppies surf, and spot the girls on the beach. Taffy and the puppies reunite with their owners. Vivian and Marco say they will transport the girls and their puppies to Chelsea's dance competition, but they come to a washed out road.
Marco says the girls can use the horses to get over the gap in the road. Barbie gets on Spirit with Taffy. The puppies cheer for the horses as they jump. The girls stay on the horses and come to a crossroads. Barbie picks a random path, which leads them back to Banyan Tree Park instead of the dance competition, meaning Chelsea will miss the competition. Barbie's they had fun finding the puppies, and the puppies say they had fun too. Taffy says it was the best vacation ever.
Barbie figures out how to get to the competition in time, but the host tells Chelsea she is too late. Rookie tells the puppies to do puppy eyes, and the host changes her mind. Chelsea starts to perform, but gets nervous. Beauty joins her to help her out, and Spirit and Barbie join in too. Rookie says he can dance too, and joins in with DJ. Honey and Taffy start dancing too. Taffy tells Archibald to dance with them, and he does. They copy his dance move and call it The Archie. The collaborative dance helps Chelsea to win the competition, and she thanks Honey, DJ, Rookie, Taffy and everyone who helped her. Archibald turns the music back on, and Taffy dances with everyone.
