And who says the Griffons have less resolve than Hellhounds?

The only thing that makes Hellhounds stand out is that they are untameable; that doesn't mean that they are unstoppable honey badgers; it only means that they will never obey and will never stop resisting if somebody tries to domesticate them.

But being untamable doesn't mean that they are very strong. Many untameable aren't particularly dangerous. All attempts to domesticate zebras and turn them into mounts have failed. The Scottish Wild Cat is untameable, but besides that, they are just normal cats; they aren't even too big, 3-6 kilograms, smaller than a domesticated Norwegian Forest Cat or a Maine Coon Cat.

Griffons are known to drive Dragons away: That gives us a good clue about their position in the power scale. On the other hand, nothing points to Hellhounds being more powerful that say Minotaurs or Ogres.

Hellhounds may be able to kick Baphomets and Dragons around In some people's headcanon, but nothing in canon says that they are smarter or more skilled or stronger than other monsters, just untamable.
