We haven't exactly seen the DH in action R then so bringing in proof of earlier doesn't nullify DomA's hypothesis. Yes it is possible that there is a new type of DH as most people assumed. Having this new breed would make it much more interesting since it would take a great deal to stop them but, the same effect could be achieved with some DO's will added into the mix (as DomA suggests).
Whatever the case, the shadowspawn are going to be hard to kill. What I'm a little curious about is why we haven't seen the DO exercise his will in other places, such as when the Trollocs attacked the Whitecloaks in ToM.
The theory that the Darkhounds Rand had to balefire were somehow imbued with the Dark One's essance because he was specifically looking for Asmo is flawed. They found Asmo first but left him alone. They snuck past everyone in the Maiden's house to get to Rand so in that we can assume they were following orders. The same with the one that went after Matt. Logically, Matt and Rand were the targets of the attack.
It is my opinion that there are 2 types, and that Rand was speaking with Lews Therin's knowledge on the subject when he made the statement.
This doesn't hold much weight since you somehow don't know how to spell Mat.

There's more than one type of darkhound- we've seen some that can only be balefired

Yet it remains unproven that these two were of a different "kind"
