My hawks have all learned to hunt with their own dogs. It actually ends up me being a chauffeur for the hawk(s) and the dog. We'd arrive where we were going to hunt then I'd let the hawk(s) loose and then let the dog out. They'd key in on each other and the hunt was on!
The oldest actively hunted Harris' Hawk I know of was 23 when she died. In the wild about 90% of raptors die within the first year. Raptors used in falconry tend to live longer because they don't face the dangers 24/7 that a wild raptor faces.
