One of my departed Collies Lassie was a mom at a puppy mill and never learned to play. Not only that she would put a stop to the other Collies playing. She got the nickname the librarian for that trait. The only toy I ever seen her pick up was a duck exactly like the one you have.
My new Collie Cooper loves to play, his favorite toy is a Nerf dog football. The first thing he does when a quest arrives is bring them his football to play fetch.
