No, -depth switches *to* depth-first processing.  The default is
pre-order traversal, which means that a directory is processed before
its contents, but is not quite the same as breadth-first processing
(breadth-first would require all directories at the same level to be
processed before any of their contents).  So either the original poster
was confused or has a broken find command (or perhaps an alias that
automatically adds -depth).
