The beginning of 'Rangeaire Vision' 20 years ago grew out of Jane's remote teaching of people to groom.  For many years, Jane used to help people living a long way away from her to trim Airedales by phone and letters containing photos on which she drew lines. A person from Perth sent Jane a video showing himself trimming his Airedale, asking for advice. So, Bob borrowed a video camera and 'filmed' a reply. Basic as that was, it was added to firstly for an enquiry from Tasmania, then one from Queensland and so on. This video, together with the 'snow' between the various 'takes', sold many copies. Then their son, Rick shot their first professionally organized video. So, How to Groom an Airedale was produced unedited, with each shot rehearsed and ad-libbed. This video has stood the test of time and, in an enhanced form is still in great demand today.

Then, How to Raise a Litter of Puppies was shot using professional tape and editing. This video has been added to many times over the years and remains Rangeaire Vision's biggest selling title. Over the years, incorporating the latest equipment, the remainder of the educational DVDs/videos followed. These have been produced one at a time between contracts for recording dog shows. Indeed, bookings for Australia's most important dog events frequently occur two years ahead.

Certainly the strength of Rangeaire Vision videos lies in their specialized content. However, bringing this content to the market would not be possible without the technical expertise of Bob who is adept in the field of dog videography, video production and editing. It is Bob who enhances the footage for Jane's original scripts and ideas. He enjoys the challenge of keeping up to date with the latest technology.

Today, all videos are produced with the latest digital cameras and computer "non-linear" editing suites.  Bob has recently put all of Rangeaire Vision's educational titles on DVD.
