Glad you warned about the Hawks, I wouldn't put an Owl form out there I think it attracts them. My daughter has a tiny chichuhua, had her out at night on a retractable leash. She heard something behind her and when she looked around the owl was on her dog. The owl tried to pick up the dog but it's wing scrapped the ground and dropped the dog and flew off. My daughter scooped up the dog ran in the house and discovered the dog was full of blood on her neck and back, probably from the talons. They took her to emergency vet care and she is fine now. They live in West Chicago and it is woodsy out there, They had a fake Owl on their roof, I think it attracts them When I was there babysitting, I had J-LO out on her leash and I had chills walking her I felt something watching me. I scooped her up and hurried to the front of the house and when I turned around I saw a large brown wing turn the side of the house, it had been hiding in the trees and shrubs along side of their property line. J-LO is now litter trained I think I'll tell her about an air horn when she takes her out for a walk. Coyotes are also a menace out there also. I don't a fence will deter them much . Good Luck and may all the Yorkie Angels watch over our babies.
