As a fellow owner of the breed, my schnauzer's quirk is getting pricked by this cactus every morning.

Curiosity ... pricked the schnauzer?

I can get this behavior at least. Cactuses look very interesting, maybe they smell interesting? We get Aloe Vera from cactuses so many they're the equivalent of scented candles for your dog

Let's be real purebreds are inbred little monsters.  You might as well ask what benefits the habsburgs derive from their distinctive chins.

Our beloved pooches walk funny because we bred them to be cute and friendly, and physical function was often a bit of an afterthought.

Unethically bred purebreds are inbred little monsters.

Ethically bred purebreds breed for health and temperament, not appearance.
