i once saw a hawk attacking a grown fox that was hunting in the hawk`s chosen hunting spot and was victorious in the skirmish. whether or not the hawk could have killed an animal that size i cannot say. but after what i witnessed that day i can say for sure a hawk will take on a much larger animal for territorial rights. i`m sure the same would happen if their young were threatened. i was grabbed by the finger once by a grown hawk and i can also tell you that they are much more powerful in their grip than you can imagine unless it happens to you. they can very easily cut a small animal`s spine into with their claws killing them very quickly.
What else can I help you with?
Why do dogs attack other dogs?
Dogs attack people for 6 different reasons. 1: They are protecting territory, 2: They are protecting owners, 3: They are protecting young, 4: They are scared of people, 5: They are very sick, ( rabies, foaming at the mouth,) or 6: They have been mistreated.
Should you be concerned about hawks attacking your 6 dog and what can you do to deter this from happening?
Yes, you should be very worried about the hawk. A large hawk can lift up to 8 lbs. and sometimes more, so if your dogs are puppies or small dogs, never leave them unattended even once (not even to answer the phone.) I live in British Columbia, Canada (on the outskirts of Vancouver) and take my small dogs on the dyke by the river (one is 21 lbs., the other 15) and I see hawks circling around. One security guard that patrols the area said a hawk came down and tried to fly away with a lady's small dog that was on a leash! Even though my dogs are heavier I keep a sharp eye out for hawks.Hawks have fantastic eye sight and just see prey and your small dog could appear to be a rabbit, etc., to them and they'll swoop. Even if the hawk can't successfully lift the dog it can leave some nasty punctures and tears in the dog's skin which could require several stitches. TIP: Even if the hawk is an endangered species in your area and it attacks your puppy or small dog, keep calm, try to step on it's wings or kick at the hawks head. Hawks are extremely stubborn about letting their prey go and will fight to keep it so you have no alternative if you want to save your dog. There is nothing you can really do to deter hawks, but keep a 'hawk-eye' out yourself. Your dogs shouldn't be able to run loose no matter how much acreage you have or how large your dogs are. There may be other predators such as coyotes (which will send out the female or a couple of females to entice the dog no matter how large toward the hidden pack. The rest is history.) When your dog is outside go out with them. If it's a puppy NEVER leave them alone and go outside to let them do their business and then have play time once in awhile. Then bring them in to the safety of the house.

Could a hawk have picked up a little 6 pound poodle and how far would it have taken her and did she suffer long?
Some hawks can attack small domestic dogs, if they are desperately hungry, there are several cases of Cooper's Hawks attacking Jack Russels and Chihuahuas. However in all of these cases the birds were unable to carry the dog away. In the case of a missing poodle, I suspect it's more likely a human carried it away than a bird of prey.
