I wonder how Landseer got that stag to pose long enough?

The problem with dogs and deer is like you said, the deer will leave the dog in the dust, but as soon as they are what they perceive as out of danger they stop to rest. A persistent dog will soon catch up with them and the cycle repeats. Before long the deer are exhausted but the dog will trot for hours. Weaker deer will die, killed by a dog that never touched them.
