hand raised pup

Not sure where to put this.
One of the people at club is raising a working line pup from birth. Mom started in labor on the 51st day. She continued labor off and on for 3 days. (under vet supervision) One pup survived. Mom dried up. The pup is now 35 days old from a 54th day birth.
The pup seems quite healthy now, and doing fine.
My question: What, if any health/temperment/socialization problems can be expected with this pup. The pup did not nurse, so no colostrum (sp). Do the different commercial formulas provide this?
I've tube fed pups in the past but they weren't separated from mom or the litter. This pup has been an "orphan" from birth.
I've read the pup could be dog agressive, overly dependent on humans, etc. What are the expieriences of the breeders here.
