While I don't let my dog out by himself. I have had many small dogs. Lots of Hawks where I live. I don't worry about them unless they are pups. I would be afraid of Barn Owls more. They can kill your dog yes. But they won't snatch them and fly away. If your outside they usually stay away. There not picking up anything twice there size.
I see them get rabbits. Same size as a dog. They pick at them on the ground. I had a Pom It looked like a rabbit. I was always watching. But they never come close...I was always there. JME |
