Samara Sauer with her family, the story behind Tūi & Chief
Our Story

More Than
A Groom

“I started Tūi & Chief in the name of my father, Peter Sauer. Tui was his drink of choice, and the Chiefs Mana was his team, he was their biggest fan. It only made sense to put the two things he loved together.”

Samara Sauer is a trained groomer working out of a purpose-built home salon in Hobsonville, welcoming dogs from right across West Auckland. One pet at a time, no cage drying, no rushing, every appointment is calm, individual, and done with care.

His memory has helped shape everything about this business, and pushed her drive towards a passion they both loved. Tūi & Chief carries his name, his spirit.
