Hunting Jackal in South Africa... What Dog ?

[Leader]

English Pointers
I am a first time member of BGH and am looking for advice on hound selection.
I currently hunt Greywing franclin over English Pointers which I have bred from a consistant line of hunting dogs.
Jackal kills on lambs as sheep have escalated hugely in our area and I have been asked to breed and train jackal hunting dogs.
My question is !!!!!!
Can I use my English Pointers who have fab noses to breed a new line of jackal hunting dogs.
I am looking for comments from hunters with experiance good or bad of English Pointers hunting medium preditors.

drop down to the coyote section you should get more help there. Not too much difference in coyotes and Jackals I've seen.
