Spanish term or phrase: "clasificación de razas de perros"
Hi again. I am doing a translation about dogs and it says "la clasificación se hace en función del peso y del tamaño de la raza". How would we say that in English? "the classification" doesn't sound right for me. What do you think?

Thanks a lot
