Best Answer

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.

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.
