German term or phrase: Zuchtrasse
The sentence in which the word occurs is by Nazi author E. Rothacker. It is as follows. "In
tiefgreifenden Spannungen aber befinden sich beide im Rassegedanken vereinten
Ideen reinrassiger Abstammung (Gobineau) wie “gute Rasse” im Sinne der hochqualifizierten
Zuchtrasse (H. St. Chamberlain) mit allen Verkleidungsformen der
Demokratie und Massenherrschaft, als unvermeidlicher Begünstigungen eines rassisches
Erbgutes, dessen Durchschnittsniveau mit der Zunahme der Zahl stetig sinken
muß."

breeding race
Explanation:
I've found several references to "breeding race" in reputable sources.

Next to medical and militaristic/nationalistic works, eugenic literature formed the third main track of this publisher. In 1909, J. F. Lehmann published his first racist book, entitled Deutsche Rassepolitik und die Erziehung zu nationalem Ehrgefühl, by Eberhard Meinhold, a retired major, who advanced "farsighted proposals particularly relevant to our eastern politics". Under the leadership of the Swiss psychiatrist Ernst Rüdin, taught by Bleuler and Kraepelin, and Max von Gruber, a physician and proponent of the "breeding race", a eugenic section was instituted at the International Hygiene Exhibition of 1911 in Dresden.
