My Jake played with toys until he was about 2, then pretty much lost interest (though he would pick one up when excited, going to the car). He never retrieved on land (no balls, sticks, kong, etc), but would retrieve (obsessively) from water (river, lake, ocean, whatever) till the end of his life. Once he got to be an adult, he pretty much lost the "play" drive, but he still LOVED to ride, hike, swim, etc.

I think they all enjoy different things, you just have to find what she enjoys doing that you can do together.
