Using try-catch over if conditions to safely set values with minimum performance impact in java

Here, my main goal is setting the value safely, without having a performance (speed, memory, cpu etc) impact.

I have a silly option (in a bad style) also mentioned below. So, what is the best way to do this? option 1? option 2? or another one?

Option 1 :

if(
    animalData!=null && 
    animalData.getBreedData()!=null && 
    dogx.getBreed() != null && dogx.getBreed().getBreedCode() != null && 
    animalData.getBreedData().get(dogx.getBreed().getBreedCode()) != null
){
    dogx.getBreed().setBreedId(animalData.getBreedData().get(dogx.getBreed().getBreedCode()));
}

Option 2 :

try{dogx.getBreed().setBreedId(animalData.getBreedData().get(dogx.getBreed().getBreedCode()));}catch(Exception e){}

Note : this piece of code is in a loop having many thousands of iterarations.
