Well, that was nasty and sarcastic in an otherwise pleasant thread. Breeding stock is an efficient, technical way to refer to animals that were selected for their particular suitability for breeding; it wasn't meant as a derogatory way to make them sound like mere commodities. One can have pets that are also good "breeding stock," don't you think? Since you disapprove of breeding, where do you propose we should get Yorkies?
