I might be adding more types, and possibly also breeds, where there may be
a large number of choices. Is there a way to make a combo-box, where the
applicant may enter an unlisted type or breed?

I don't recall any.

But one can surely have a drop-down list including "* Another * ",
where selecting that un-hides a box to type the name into. But it's not
clear how you could use an unrecognised name, except by reference to a
human. Code could charge extra for "Rottweiler"; but how about
"Rotveiller"? I suspect that many of the owners of nasty dogs are not
good at spelling.

It is nice to know that my dogs are "nasty dogs" simply because of the breed. There is nothing "nasty" about my dogs, they get cleaned often enough to prevent it. They do have a very peculiar disposition whereby messing with the owner or his property invokes a particularly gruesome reaction from them though. The results of that reaction could be called "nasty" though.
