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.
