I really don't think it's a good idea to leave a dog, especially a small dog, outside without supervision, whether it's a cyv or a larger lot with electronic fence. Aside from hawks, there are snakes. If your dog likes to "noodle" outside all afternoon, it could be a problem, because you wouldn't be constantly in the area. But surely this is less of a problem with a cyv than a designer with larger lot.
We have had hawks on our deck in MI, causing us to stop putting our Cockatiel out there in his travel cage, total weight about 10-12 pounds. Maybe the hawk wouldn't be able to pick up your pug (btw I love pugs!), but if he tried, it could be very traumatic to you and your pup.
