Foxhounds greatly reduce spawn rate of other nether mobs

Foxhounds significantly reduce spawn rate for nether mobs. Very frustrating when trying to catch ghasts for Extra Utilities Angel Ring or finding Wither skeletons. I performed a test by disabling Foxhounds and creating a new world. Spawn rate returned to normal.

Same versions, same observation.
Took me a while to figure out why my nether fortresses were completely empty of all mobs. (never even saw a ghast)
So in desperation I used /cofh killall and it reported 123 foxhounds killed...
I've since reduced the spawn "weight" from 10 to 2.

Edit: Uppon further testing I still regularly got 30+ foxhounds in a killall, so I ended up disabling them altogether.

This is caused by EntityFoxhound extending EntityWolf (which is an animal and doesn't despawn), but being registered for spawning as a hostile mob. Eventually, your entire mob cap in the nether will be full of foxhounds, completely blocking the spawning of other hostile mobs.
