My name is Anna Pede. I was born in Latvia, where my childhood and youth were spent in the small coastal city of Liepāja, on the shores of the Baltic Sea. Since 2009, I have been living in Germany, near Frankfurt am Main, where I continue to create a world filled with creativity, aesthetics, and love for the things that truly matter to me.

Here, all the facets of my world come together: graphic design, art, plotter creations, and my Schnauzer kennel, Arete Pura.

My love for dogs has been with me since childhood. Schnauzers have always held a very special place in my heart — noble, intelligent, and incredibly charismatic dogs. My very first Schnauzer came into my life during my teenage years in Latvia, and that was the beginning of a journey that would later become an essential part of who I am.

For me, dogs are far more than breeding or a kennel. They represent a deep connection, trust, and an entire world built on love and respect for the breed. At Arete Pura, I value not only beauty and breed quality, but above all harmony, health, and a happy life alongside people.

Everything I do has long become more than simply work — it is a way of life. I am drawn to depth, aesthetics, quality, and sincerity. Everything I create is born from a love of beauty, harmony, and the desire to bring more warmth, light, and inspiration into this world.
