Kiyo
Kiyo is a boy from the exceptional Emi & Kitsu combination – Synergy Litter, born into a lively pack of 7 puppies: 5 brothers and 1 sister. Bred from a pairing focused on outstanding working ability, both parents bring the perfect balance of drive, stable character, and ideal temperament. His mother, Emi, is known as one of the most driven Tollers out there — a true powerhouse in the field.

Calm Soul, Powerful Roots
Despite his strong working lineage, Kiyo brings something truly unique: a calming presence that puts everyone at ease. He’s a real zen dog, with a natural gift for sensing emotions and offering quiet comfort. Intelligent, intuitive, and steady, Kiyo is more than just a working dog — he’s a soul with special gifts.
The Gentle Professor with Star Quality
Kiyo, known as “The Professor” in the litter, is a soft-hearted and exceptionally intelligent Toller. With his gentle nature, strong will to please, and thoughtful yet driven approach, he’s a joy to work with in every setting. A true cuddle bear, loyal and affectionate, Kiyo is also protective of his person and kind to everyone he meets.
He’s not just a top working dog and a champion in tricks — Kiyo has also made his mark as a TV and media star, shining in casting roles with natural charm and confidence. A one-of-a-kind companion with both brains and heart in balance. Beyond that, Kiyo performs at a high level in Agility. Alongside us, he also competes with a junior handler, with whom he secured a reserve spot in 2024 and earned a place at the Junior AWC 2025. Gentle, slightly goofy, and endlessly devoted, his nickname “Kiyo the Hero” reflects exactly who he is.
Synergy United We R One
-Kiyo-
His pedigree name, United We R One, from the Synergy litter, ties it all together beautifully — a reflection of unity, connection, and perfectly aligned souls coming together as one.
His Japanese call name, Ukiyo, carries a deeper, almost poetic meaning: “living in the moment with a clear spirit, detached from the bothers of life.”
