Schnauzers are in the upper middle class of their world. Although they were originally bred to kill rats, most of them, through hard work and ingenuity, have succeeded in elevating their station in life to that of killing moles. This is a much more dignified way to make a living, to be sure. You see, killing rats involves living in barns. Killing moles, however, implies a much softer life, including two thousand square foot houses, sodded zoysia grass, and neighbors to keep up with.
Collies have an unenviable situation.
You see, they are expected to live up to the reputation of Lassie, that is, to rescue dim-witted humans from fixes that they have fallen into through their own stupidity. Unfortunately, things don't always happen that way. Sometimes, for instance, no matter how obtuse the owners are, they manage to avoid crises. Other times, emergencies are handily fallen into, but they are simply out of the Collie's league. This causes a tremendous amount of insecurity among this particular type of dog, with the results including depression, overdrinking, and badmouthing of other breeds.
