Not really correct. Good cockers and springers, in fact any good gundog is high intensity but well bred with bidibility does not mean they require high intensity training at all. Some of the hardest going, driven, spaniels I have seen have been total breezes to train due to the breeder paying as much attention to bidibility as everything else. You only come unstuck with poor breeders who breed drive (The easiest thing in the world to produce) but do so without bidibility, then you have a nightmare regardless of breed.
