Dragonhawks are soon going to be a tameable beastie in the Burning Crusade. There are low-level ones in Eversong Woods (blood elf 1-10 zone) and high level ones in Tempest Keep and Shadowmoon Valley.
They have brightly colored skins (the ones seen so far are orange and a pink-reddish).
Petopia has more info.

Regardless of raf0419's comment that the Eversong Woods Dragonhawks' STA, STR, and AGL are "way higher" than their SPI and INT, Petopia, which is generally a very reliable resource, does identify them as "caster pets." See: http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/html/families/family_dragonhawk.shtml
For more information on how Petopia defines "caster pets," see: http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/html/articles/stats_casters.shtml
I recently tamed an Eversong Woods Dragonhawk, and it is a strikingly beautiful pet. At the current low level of my hunter, it works just fine for me. But, if Petopia is correct, I will regret keeping this pet when I get to higher levels.
EDIT:
I decided to compare the BASE specs of my dragonhawk at level 10 to a similar level 10 mob that I tamed. The differences, at least at level 10, don't seem very significant. (Yes, the fleshripper's base armor is 22% higher that the dragonhawk's and it has 3% more health, but the dragonhawk's DPS is 13% higher than the fleshripper's and it also has a little AoE fire breath attack).

I went alone at lvl 15 walking to get my dragonhawk. I followed directions given here. I died many times and it took a few hours. At light's hope I did ask for a escort the rest of the way and got help to finish my walk. I had no problem at all walking in the portal. My armor was indeed red and as soon as I got it I hearthed.

There is a portal in the ruins of Lorderon just in front of Undercity
FYI, that teleports you into the deepest part of Silvermoon City. You would have to die/rez at least a good 50? times in order to even get out of the city.

Caster debate aside, the Dragonhawk is a very aesthetically pleasing pet, and many folk would doubtlessly want one. Horde can get this pet easily thanks to the Zeppelins and teleporting stone in the Undercity. Alliance have a somewhat more trying time. Yesterday I went about getting my new Draenei Hunter his, and I will outline how to get there with minimum time/deaths:
Step One: Menethil Harbor
All you have to do is take a boat from Darnassus/Exodar for our Nelfs and Draenei, or take the tram and run from Ironforge for our Dwarves, Gnomes, and Humans. Once here, the real fun begins...
Step Two: Swim to Southshore
If you are going for fastest trip, you can avoid the raptors of Arathi all together, or not if you want the flight points. I would suggest swimming along the wetlands coast to the Eastern Strand. This is the fun part: Let the first naga on the eastern strand kill you. You will spawn in Southshore, get the flight point, and continue on.
Step Three: Take the River to EPL.
This part can be really easy or incredibly annoying depending on horde traffic. The river flowing north from Southshore is almost devoid of aggroable enemies. Near Alterac there are a few bears, but they are completely avoidable if you have your wits about you. Once inside the WPL, smply follow the shore to bridge road where the EPL and WPL connect...
Step Four: Corin's Crossing
Here is where the many deaths begin. No matter what you do, you will aggro several things by time you get to Corin's Crossing. The Key here is to get as far through it as possible to spawn at Light's Hope Chapel. My suggestion is to keep to the road until you hit Corin's Crossing, then head along the outer reaches of town towards Tyr's Hand. Worked pretty well for me.
Step Five: Light's Hope - Ghostlands
This is the hardest part. After getting the flight point at Lights Hope, you must hoof it all the way to teh Ghostlands through 58+ enemies. My suggestion is the run (and pray) your way towards the nearby Capturable tower and stick to the dried out river. You can take this path to the road just north of Corin's Crossing, then make your way up to the Ghostlands via the road. You will die, but if you are lucky you can make it there with minimal interference. Be mindful of Borelgore, The Scarlet Messenger, and the Scourge Siege Engineer just before the instance portal for the Ghostlands.
Step Six: The Ghostlands
Now that your main troubles are over, it is time to take on the Ghostlands. Aside from horde ganking, this area is *mostly* a since to pass through. Simply follow the road through the giant gate system and north until you begin heading up the hill to Tranquillian. Do not follow the road when you get to this point, instead follow the cliffs to the left of the Horde Town until you are once again at teh road, then simply run north once more.
Step Seven: The Dragonhawk!
Once you cross the river, you are in Eversong and, happily, there are Dragonhawks immediately once you enter. Just pass the Belf house (Beware the undead quest mob outside it) and BAM!, level 7-9 Dragonhawks just ready to tame. Get yours and get out! Hearth, Run back the way you came, or whatever, but any farther north you will consistently run into trouble with quest npcs and city guards.
Wrapping It Up:
I got both the orange cat as well as my dragonhawk by hearthing to Ironforge then flying back to EPL and repeating. They can be found deeper inside Eversong, but without escorts you probably will die a lot more than I did. Escorts, particularly a 55+ Warrior (for aggro control) and Priest (for ressing)make this trip much easier. Don't forget that you can always grab more flightpoints along the way and get a jump upon travel for later in the game.
I did this quest for my Dragonhawk at level 12.
I died twice before EPL: once at the Eastern Strand, once from a horde outside Tarren Mill.
I died eight times in EPL, three times on the way to Corrin's Crossing, once at Corrin's Crossing, and four times on my way between Light's Hope and the Ghostlands (Mostly due to timing on Borelgore and The Scarlet Messanger)
Good Luck!

they are in the Blood Elf area and they are great. I got mine at lvl 10 and he was 7 now we are 25 and 24. Best pet that I have ever have. At 16 I train him with +32 re stance to all types of spell and over 1100 points of armor. Very tough.
Yes they start out with only 6 dmg with fire breath but every lvl or so the dmg increases, I have a BE hunter lvl 21 and my pet is 20 and he does 40 dmg over 2 seconds and it also hits for about 20 dmg doing a total of around 60 dmg, it's awsome.
there's like 2 kinds of dragonhawk in outland, i believe one's lv 68 and the other's 70.
There is more the one type of Dragonhawk in eversong. Crazed Dragonhawk is lvl 7-9, but Feral Dragonhawk Hatchling is about 4-6. My first pet Mirage is a Crazed Dragonhawk, liked her color, but i wondered if the feral was different. I died twice in eastern plaguelands, thankfully i had all my armor off (im 29 now, i was 19 when i got Mirage)(alot more dieing hehe). Petopia has the same image of dragonhawks. Feral though is actually smaller, and also has a lighter color the the Crazed. Although I thought it would go great with my Crazed i let it go and got a kitty cat instead.
Dragonhawks at low levels are only found in Eversong Woods, which is the Blood Elf starting area.
Alliance have Ravagers which can be found in Azuremyst Isle which is the Draenei starting area.
Die in orgrimmar. Take the zeppelin to UC. spirit run to eversong woods. rez at a spirit healer. tame. flee.
and before you nubs say "omg wtf you cant do that you'll get ported back" you actually can (as of patch 2.0.8). it seems if you die then change islands then you are entitled to rez wherever the fob you feel like :)

ment to say mushu as in the small red dragon from Mulan
You cannot reach eversong with simply swimming the complete way. If yoy dont go trough the portal you wil simply stay in the old world. The map wil say that your in eversong but the only thing you see is a lot of water. ( to much water) But the funny thing is that there is a litle place with some remains of the old wow silvermoon ( A verry huge tower an a destroyt dock.) get the pet later an im SO happy with my litle dragon!
OK, you all that posted on how to get to Eversong. You all made this way to hard on your self.... Follow the directions everyone else posted on how to get there. But, dont bring an escort, you dont want or need help getting there. The first time you die is the only time you die... DO NOT REZ!!!! Just run there dead, and once you get to Eversong find the angel chick and rez there. No worries, no hassels, no bothering anyone else to help you get there. Yes it works, done it my self after beening told by someone else they did it. You can even go through the Ghostland portal in ghost form.
Recap: RUN THERE DEAD!
Sorry for the spelling, couldnt spell my way out of a paper bag.
Exactly ^^. Why does everyone post these "run here... avoid that" ways to get to a certain area. If you want to go somewhere way past your level just get killed and use the spirit healer in that new zone. Don't rez at a different area in the same zone you will be at the closest GY to where you died. You can use boats, zeppelins, and portals while dead.
=====================================
Make life easy on yourself use Coordinates! simple as that. Its allowed and it is not cheating, why are you looking here anyway. Just download SimpleMiniMap from WoWace.com and you are all set. You will never have to ask for noncoordinate directions again.

That's completely a lie. Every kind of pet ends up with the same amount of training points at the same level. You may have to unlearn the pet's skills (some come with innate skills that cost Training Points) but they will be the same.
Misinformation is bad.
does anybody know where a night elf can actually get a dragonhawk ( if so please tell me ) thanks
I hate people that totally forget about dwarf hunters...
I just made a BE hunter, anyone know how I can get bite and swoop to train him? Do I have to be bothered to walk Barrens and listen to that crap music? And for the love of God, buy the tiny red dragonhawk pet! they look cool together.
I mean the dragonhawk =P, forgive the seplling, dyslexia is a pain in my esra.
i wish i had one on my hunterbut theres a problem hes a dwarf
I got my Dragonhawk, very pretty I love it SO MUCH...
Just wish I could train it a few more talents like screech for aggro, and claw for malee damage (incase I fight say fire elementals, who are IMMUNE to fire.).
But I guess that just means I'll have to have a second pet.
Great pet and nice looks, i got a ravager too and this one is just blizzards way of giving a new pet to the horde. But in general i prefer my ravager because of its armor and dps, if trained properly.
Pets all depend of your way of playing the game, the way it looks and how u want to be seen.
Have fun
r there ne tameable (non caster stat) lvl 65-70 ones?
and if so, where?
so sorry but all of the low lvl Dragonhawks are casters. the lowest lvl you can get a non caster dragonhawk is at 67 and in Shadowmoon Valley. sorry
Petopia has more info on "caster" stats
Got my dragonhawk as a lvl 10 hunter. Made a very dangerous journey to the eversong woods. I like it very much, very breath is now 103 per 2 seconds... It costs 50 focus to cast but as a beastmaster hunter focus replenishes itself very fast. Can take a lot of damage and i'm now lvl 58 and now for sure that he stays until the bitter end....

Bloodfeather
haha wow that sucks man. well at least you got it. for anyone else trying to get one me and my friend just died and ran there as ghosts. really easy after we figured that out
These things are awesome!!Fire breath that tight!
Im picking it to be my first pet. I read about them on petopia.com
DRagonhawks for the win... i got mine at level 10 and im never going back (im 33 now)
PROS:extremely useful, beautiful,fast attacking
CONS:without focus its useless
overall though i love them ill submit a screen shot soon
Pro: all models of dragonhawk are very pretty.
Con: less armour than practically any other pet.
I tamed an eclipsion dragonhawk at 70, just for the pretty of it. But it mostly sits in my stable since I have other pets who do better damage and don't suck up as much of my mana in healing them.
armor isnt everything if you can kill the monsters faster you can get more exp and take less damage and its only 8% of base mana thats nothing =P
Heh, thing is, the pet has to survive multiple mobs sometimes. The more hp and armor it has, the more SS/AS you can put into the mobs. And 8% is a lot for a hunter.
had a D-hawk...like the attack hated the dmg enough said...beautiful pet though
these are pretty bad*** looking pets. i like to name my pets with the word fangs at the end. lol
where can you get this pet i have a wolf right now. and got 11 gold
read the rest of the comments
I find this to be a very nice pet to level with. I have been working on a hunter and I just had to get this pet because its elegant and not so common with other hunters. Its dps is a tad under what a cat would give but it isn't that far off. It also gets about 5% more armor than a cat has so for solo leveling its good for holding the mob for you.
Pros
Looks cool
decent DPS, about 5~10% less then a cat overall considering skills
Moderate HP and armor
Its fire breath looks really neat
Like a cat it eats fish and meat, but it also eats fruits
Cons
Pain to get at low lvs, death crawling past EPL at lv10 might be hard
not the absolute highest dps pet
not the absolute best tank pet
This is more of a utility pet that can serve you very well when leveling up.
being cunning the Dragonhawk is supposed to be a PvP pet...i am not saying it is a bad pet but i prefer my Chimaera for PvP and my Gorilla (or Rhino depending on which one i decide to keep) work nicely with AoE...IMHO i think they should give this pet the Ferocity tree simply because i think it would perform quite well in raids if it had a little more DPS...true Owl's Focus is definately great for this pet because it relies so much on focus since its normal attacks are quite low...just my 2 cents
Despite what the Burning Crusade book says, dragonhawks are acctually strong with their fire breath (used to be called dragon breath). They are great at keeping aggro, but don't forget that Carrion Feeder!
A Faster Way for an lowbie Ally Hunter to get a DH at Eversong Woods
---Assuming you have a Main or alt with fp to EPL. --
A faster way to acquire DH if you don't have a friend willing to escort you to Ghostlands is to create a trial account using the Refer-A-Friend (RAF) promo -- to get the benefit of summoning --. On the trial acct., make a toon. Login to your main account to your high level toon. Next invite the low level toon (on the trial acct) to a group. On your high lvl toon mount all the way to the entry way for Ghostlands (don't enter since a trial acct. won't have access to BC content). Summon the trial acct. toon. Next log-off your main toon and logon to your lowbie Hunter which you want to have a DH pet. Invite the trial to a group and have the trial toon summon you. Boom, your Hunter is in EPL without dying. Now you can get to Ghostlands and Eversong Forest with minimal chances of dying. Hope this tip helps.
Note: You can also use this trick to help your lowbie toons get flight points. Just have your toon (with the FPs) invite the trial acct toon and summon --- logon to your lowbie toon and summon again. You can do this every hour.
this is way more complicated than it needs to be...if you REALLY want a DH that bad get a friend who has a traveler's mammoth or pay someone who has one to give you a ride to Ghostlands...if you are still new to the game its not likely you'll know about DH for a while or even where to get one...if not then go ahead and try that incredibly long and confusing process...or just cut out the middle man and ask 1 warlock and 2 friends to summon you up there since you can't use the ZA stone for low levels
