Were any of y’all’s dogs able to perform good retrieves around 6 or 7 months but obviously didn’t love it?

Introducing my pup to retrieving and she’ll do it for a reward but lacks a lot of drive. I’m not really concerned with how fast she jumps into the water or how bad she wants to get the ducks but I’m hoping she can still be a functional retriever in the water.

6.5 month old Female Labrador/flat coat with low desire to retrieve. Need advice

Training her to be a waterfowl retriever and she has little desire to retrieve and her obedience is just okay without rewarding her with food. If I have a treat she will heel, sit, stay, release, and retrieve in the water on command with some consistency. This is rare without food as reward, affection has little effect on her as a reward. I can get her fired up by pulling the dummy on a string while it’s in the water but it’s short lived. Any advice?
