We have a 5 foot fence, but i'm always worried someone might jump over it and steal the dogs!
There are some very sad stories on here about dogs that have gone missing from fenced yards/gardens...i wouldnt risk it.
Hawks don't have to pick up their target to do damage or kill.

My neighbor's male Yorkie weighs 13 pounds. The hawk obviously could not pick him up, but the hawk tore open the side of his torso. The hawk's talons came very close to ripping the diaphragm, which would likely have been deadly.
